Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 28 Aug 1928
DEATH OF MR. JACK WHITE Adelong and district folk will regret to hear of the death of Mr . Jack White, formerly of Adelong, who passed away in Sydney a few days ago. No family here was better known a few years hence than the White's, who were resident from the early days of the goldfield, till they decided to make their home in Sydney. The late Mr. White, and his father also, were Superintendents of the Methodist Sunday School for nearly half a century between them, giving their time each Sunday for the benefit of the children. Mr. White was one of the unfortunate party of tributers in Perkins' shaft in the Gibraltar Gold Mine, in fact he was the last one of the party alive. The tribute was in what was known as Ross's winze, and, although the men did not know it at the time, it was a veritable death trap. The circulation of the air was bad, and the men were continually breathing fine dust into their lungs. Most of the members were big strapping men, and, strange to say, Mr. White was the weakest looking one of the lot, yet he lived the longest. It was not till some time after the mine was worked out that the had symptoms of dusted lungs made their unwelcome presence known, and one by one the men passed away. The party consisted of Alf Farrington, John Ross. James Scott, W. Scott. Harry Murphy, Joe Cochrane, John Parker and Jack White— all of whom have passed away. The late Mr. White married Miss Haywood, of Sharp's Creek, and their family was born in Adelong, and are now quite grown up. They and their mother are left to mourn the loss of a good father and husband .

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.
