Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 2 oct 1919
Death of Mr Oswald Rae There appears in the "S.M. Herald of Monday last the following obituary notice — "September 28, 1919, at Sydney, Oswald Rae, beloved husband of Mrs. Leo Rae, aged 40 years." As will he remembered, the deceased was married in Tumut, to Miss Leo Hilton, and they afterwards took up their residence in Sydney, where Mr. Rae held an important clerkship in a city office. They comfortably furnished a residene, but after a time resolved upon taking apartments in Arnott House, near to where Mr. Rae was engaged, and stored their furniture at Grace Bros. establishment. The premiseis of that firm were afterwards destroyed by fire, and the whole of the furniture, on which no insurance existed, was burnt. This was a serious setback in life to the young couple, and now comes the afflicting blow that they have been separated by death. The cause of the demise was pneumonic influenza, the duration of the malady being very short. The first indication of its presence was on Tuesday, and early on the following Sunday morning the patient breathed his last, after all that was possible to be done was attended to by the medical faculty. Although bearing the appearance of being particularly stromg and healthy, it is thought that the deceased had a weak heart. We extend to the bereaved widow and relatives the sincerest of sympathy in their sad affliction.

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.
