Personal Notes:

Shortly after war was declared in 1914, Iohn Douglas 03 Oct 1893 volunteered and with brother Bob and cousin Doug Carr left Gundagai on 01 Feb 1915. All three were at Gallipoli where they had frequent contact with another cousin Fred Elworthy.
Tragically Robert 1896, unmarried, was killed at Lone Pine, Gallipoli on 29 Sep 1915 just 34 weeks after leaving home - and aged only 19.
Jack spent some time in Randwick Military Hospital before returning home to an official welcome on 25 Mar 1919 after four years service. He became a stock and station agent at Adelong, married Gertrude NASH at Bondi and had three children.
In July 1931 the Gundagai Times reported that "Mrs Nash had entered into possession of the Star Hotel, Tumut where our friend Jack Isaac will be barman. Gundagai visitors are sure to call- if only to see how Jack pulls beer".

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.
