Personal Notes:

The Tumut and Adelong Times 2 Dec 1947
OBITUARY MRS. GEORGE McKENZIE Mrs. Linda May McKenzie, wife of Mr. George McKenzie, of Brungle, passed away in the Tumut District Hospital in the early hours of Friday morning last, at the age of 61 years. The late Mrs. McKenzie had been in indifferent health for some time and had been a patient in hospital for a week prior to her demise. She had been in hospital for six weeks previously suffering from arthritis, and returning home contracted bronchitis which developed into pneumonia, and she re-entered hospital a week later. It was the latter malady which ultimately caused her death. The late Mrs. McKenzie was a tireless worker for all functions held at Brungle, no matter for what cause the effort was held, and her generous assistance at the various social fixtures will be greatly missed. Her example was emulated by all members of her family and they also take an active part in assisting in the social life of the village. Deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Stephen French, of Tumut, and following her marriage to' Mr. George McKenzie she has resided at Brungle ever since. She was a staunch Presbyterian and a regular attendant at St. David's Church, Brungle. Besides the sorrowing husband, there are three daughters, Alice (Mrs. Bridge), Ethel (Mrs. Bert Piper) and Lorna, and one son, Wallace, left to mourn the loss of a loving mother. Brothers and sisters also surviving are Messrs. Stephen French (Tumut), Will French (Sydney), Arthur French (Brungle), Fred. French (Gundagai), Mary (Mrs. Dan. French) and Bell (Mrs. Roley Day), both of Tumut. The funeral took place on Saturday morning last, leaving from. St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church, Tumut, after a short service conducted by Rev. Brown, for the Presbyterian portion of the Tumut New Cemetery. Rev. Brown officiated at the graveside and Messrs. W. W. Beavan and Son had charge of the mortuary arrangements. The pallbearers were Messrs. Jack and Bert Bridge, Will Watkinson, Fred French, Norman Kelly and Paul Stringer.

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.
