| Note: All up this 'tree' has about 60,100 people. As well as my own tree, I have undertaken three large projects. Digitisation of the Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan (about 25,000 people), digitisation of the Wagga Pioneers Register (about 10,300 people), and digitisation of Pioneers of the Tumut Valley (about 5,000 people from various sources including newspapers of the time). For a 'new' person to be added to the tree, they had to be related - by birth or marriage - to a person already in the tree. That is, no disconnected people. My premis was that kids of early settlers would have had to marry their neighbours. For 10,300 early Wagga-ites this was true. The 1,000 from the Wagga Pioneers Register that I did not enter were mainly people transfered into and out of the region and whose kids did not marry here. Ditto for the few in the Queanbeyan Register that I could not include. |
