Personal Notes:
JOHANNA FRENCH nee Kilev
by Lyn Shiels

Johanna was born in 1844, daughter of William Kiley and Margaret Kiley nee Russell. Her parents had arrived in Australia in 1839 from County Cork, lreland on the Navarine. ln 1848 William took up a fourteen year lease on Spring Creek and Johanna's childhood was spent there with her brothers and sister.

At the age of nineteen Johanna married Henry French, son of Daniel and lsabella French and together they built a life for their family of ten children on Bullawayarra near Brungle.

Most of Johanna's children lived well into old age but the family experienced tragedy when Johanna's nine year old daughter, also named Johanna, was killed in a fall from a horse in 1890 and a few years later she was to lose two small grand daughters in a similar accident. Many of Johanna's descendants still live in the Tumut area.

Johanna died in 1913. She is buried in the Tumut Pioneer Cemetery with her daughter and her parents.

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.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
