Personal Notes:

The Tumut and Adelong Times 31 Aug 1926
Mr. James Holston passed peace fully away at his late residence, 'Braema,' Adaminaby, on 15th inst., aged 93 years. Born in Larvig, Norway, in 1863, he led in his 'teens' a seafaring life, and was in the Bay of Sebastopol on a merchant ship during the Crimean War. At the age of 19 he arrived in Australia on the sailing ship 'Walter Scott,' and spent some years gold digging in Victoria, Lambing Flat, Kiandra and New Zealand. From New Zealand he returned to Monaro, and some 60 years ago settled on the land near Adaminaby, where he has resided ever since, and where he obtained the respect and esteem of his neighbors. He leaves a widow, who was before marriage Miss Margaret Taylor Carter, of Teviot Bank, Adaminaby, and a family of nine, one daughter, Lilian, wife of Mr. A. D. McPhie, Nimmo, having predeceased him six years ago. There are also 30 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).

I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
