Personal Notes:
Adelong and Tumut Express 9 Jan 1925
The death occurred in Gundagai Hospital on New Year's Day of Mr. John Paton, of Mundarlo, the man who has probably 'rung' more timber in Gundagai district than any other two men put together. He used to do this in a big way — one contract on Mountain Station was for 8000 acres ; another at Brungle for 6000 acres. For years he followed the occupation of contractor on stations and roads. He was a native of Jellingroe, and 60 years of age, being a brother of Messrs. Wm. and Andrew Paton, who predeceased him, and Mr. Alf. Paton, residing at Mundarlo. A family of 11 children survive. Deceased was a hard worker all his life, and a heart strain, caused by lifting heavy timber, put him in a bad way for the past couple of years, and eventually brought about his death. The remains were interred in Tumblong C.E. cemetery on Friday.

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.
