Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 17 nov 1936
MR. JOHN THOMAS DUNN The death occurred at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Wm. Moorhead, Talbingo, at 2 a.m. yesterday, of Mr. John Thomas Dunn, one of the pioneer residents of these districts. Deceased was born at Adaminaby and was the son of the late William Dunn of that district. He spent all his early and many late years in that and the Kiandra and Yarrangobilly districts, and latterly, when old age was creeping on and release had to be given from the hard "yacker," as they termed it in the old goldfield days, he took refuge with his relatives, sons and daughters, but still using a certain amount of physical activity. During the last two years he has resided with his son Thomas in Tumut. Some few weeks ago he had to enter hospital for treatment for what was regarded as old men's disabilities, and after ten days' treatment was discharged and went to Talbingo, residing with his daughter, Mrs. Wm. Moorhead, where his death occurred quite unexpectedly yesterday morning at 2 o'clock, at the age of 74 years. There are four sons of the family, viz; Charles (Ganmain), William (Queanbeyan) , Jack (Yarrangobilly Caves) and Thomas (Tumut) ; daughters are Mrs. W. Moorhead, Talbingo (Ethel), Mrs. Norman Buchanan (Emily), Ganmain, Mrs. Jas. Thomas, Yarrangobilly (Dolly). The funeral takes (place this morning, leaving Talbingo at 9.30 for the Tumut New Cemetery.

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.
