Note 1: Sydney harbour on board ‘Herald’

Personal Notes:

Parramatta Chronicle 20 Jan 1844
“IMMIGRANTS BY THE HERALD.
The immigrants by the Herald are still on board waiting engagements. From information we have received the poor people have been greatly deceived by the im migration agents at home. Some engagements had been made, but, we have reason to believe, not to the extent represented by one or two of the Sydney papers.
The small sum of £70;000 will be required to pay the bounties of these deluded people, and where, the money is to come from is a mystery, the solution of which seems to have engaged the attention of the "Metropotitan Press" for the first time, notwithstanding they have been "moving heaven and earth" for months past, amid all the destitution prevalent in Sydney, and consequent on a want of employment for the labouring classes, to promote the very desideratum they have now so much reason to deplore.”

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.
