Personal Notes:

The Tumut and Adelong Times 21 Jun 1927
MR. J. F. MEURANT. Following upon a seizure nine days before, Mr, John Ferdinand Meurant passed away on Wednesday last, at Welwyn Private .Hospital, Wagga. A native of Wagga, and 53 years of . age, the late Mr. 'Jack' Meurant was one of the most widely and poplarly known townsmen, a member of a family whose name for over 60 years has been associated closely with the growth of Wagga, and the solid development of its district. His own business interests were thrown in with that firm of stock aud station agents, Messrs Meurant, Blake, Watts, Clark, Ltd, . whose successful operations have spelt district welfare. The deceased was the youngest son of the late Mr. Louis Meurant, of 'Sandridge,' Wagga. As a young man he followed grazing pursuits on 'Mirrool' and 'Sandridge,' and about 20 years ago joined the firm of Messrs Meurant and Blake, which had been established in the early nineties. Seven years ago, when the company Meurant, Blake, Watts, Clark Ltd., was formed he joined with it as one of its members. Deceased was married about 51/2 years ago to Miss Ruby Cass, of Temora, who survives him. Two brothers, Mr. Albert A. Meurant, of .Wagga, and Mr. Alf. Meurant, of Sydney, and six sisters, Misses Lilian, Rose and Emma Meurant at Wagga, and Mrs. W. Beattie, Mrs.H. Gettings, and Mrs. Brooks, all of Sydney, also survive him. Mr. Theodore Meurant, and his younger brother Louis, who was drowned many years ago, predeceased him.

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.
