Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 8 Jan 1929
ADELONG SPLASHES DEATH OF MR. MAURICE WALLACE On the last day of the year Mr. Wallace sr., of Adelong, passed away after being very ill for about three weeks. The late Mr. Wallace was an Australian native and was born at Queanbeyan, where he resided for many years . Here he met and married his good wife who survives him, and together they reared a large family to the estate of man hood and womanhood. Fourteen boys and girls were born to the couple, and twelve of them are still alive, as well as his widow who tenderly nursed him through his last illness. Mr. Wallace had reached the great age of 79 years and 8 months. He was a man who commanded the respect and esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was a fine example of a good husband and father, as well as a kind neighbor and friend. His remains were laid in their last resting place in the Adelong Cemetery on New Year's Day, Rev. Fr. II. J. De vine : conducting tlie last sad rites.

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.
