Hello and thankyou for coming.
I have been an historical researcher for years and can liken it to being a detective. The notion of history has always fascinated me , and with an English background I recall walking around Saxon and Norman churches with my parents as a child. All those carved knights on tombstones..who were they? why are they here??
Being brought up and later living in Wiltshire ( the home of Stonehenge and Avebury) it is impossible not to be aware of history. Taking part in archaeological digs with London University is quite an experience..and was usually cold and windy.
After moving to Australia there were more things to explore , and people are always the key. So sprung the interest in Family Research ( over 500 families to date) and cemeteries, for it is IN the cemeteries that their story starts.
My passion for this area, and Whroo in particular has not abated and the work expanded when Goulburn Diggings Research started. From the beginning it was obvious that the markings on maps were incorrect , gullies were bigger than shown and often run into each other. What was suprising to us was that this work had never been done in an organised way before.
So it happened that over ten years of fieldwalking , mapping, recording and exploring began............ and it continues.
Now onto a more serious subject.
I hope you have noticed the Copyright warnings on every page. They are there to protect my work from theft , which unfortunately has happened before and I dont want it to happen again.
I would just state that copying any part of it for republishing is illegal..... the Register in particular. I know that some of the primary sources I used to compile it are not generally available .
You are very welcome to use this site in your research, that is why I have published it.
If you have a genealogical website or group I would be delighted if you would link this site to it.
If you have a question , need to confirm something, or would like me to trace your tree then just contact me.
