Personal Notes:

The Tumut and Adelong Times 23 Nov 1926
Obituary MR. MICHAEL O'MARA At the Gundagai District Hospital, at 7 a.m. last Wednesday morning, death claimed a genial and widely known Jugiong personality in Mr. Michael O'Mara, aged 74 years. Of robust constitution, the late Mr. O'Mara was stricken down with a severe heart attack about three months ago, and for the major portion of that period he was confined and found relief in the Gundagai Hospital, being discharged about a fortnight ago. On Friday week last he was readmitted 'in a rather serious condition and his medical adviser held out little hope for his recovery : complications set in and the sufferer grew daily worse, but conscious right up till the last he passed away peacefully at the hour stated. Possessed of the jovial nature characteristic of the O'Mara family, deceased was universally popular with all who knew him, and his home at Berremangra was among the most hospitable in the district. Since boyhood he had resided in and around Jugiong, where through thrift and industry he acquired a nice grazing property. About 40 years ago he married Miss Ellen Cooney who survives him, as well as a family of five sons, namely, William, Michael, Cullen, James and Phillip. Mrs. William Sheehan (Gundagai) is a sister of deceased, and one brother (Mr. Thomas O'Mara, Merrylands) also survive him.

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.
