Database for finding Land users of the Monaro of NSW 1823–1870 By John S.

Well now it is, with a searchable database that covers the following linked periods and items. 1823 1826 1827 1828 Census 1829 Mrs_Keefe 1834 Argyle 1814 This Database is available as a CD-ROM in PDF format from: John S.

MONARO COUNTRY - drawings of 41 buildings of significance by Bill Bresser with historical text from Trisha Dixon. Printed and publish by B J Publications, Canberra "PERKINS PAPERS" which were compiled by the local parliamentarian for Monaro - there are 3 volumes depending on the years you need, Perkins typed all the information gleaned from local newspapers journals etc whilst he was in Parliament, on parliamentary paper. Perkins Papers are on film and are available on inter-library loan. I believe there are hard copies at Sydney, Canberra, Tumut and Cooma Historical Society. This material is completely indexed. I have found it the best resource available for the Monaro. For more information go to http://www.sag.org.au/collections/perkins.htm Anyone have access?

Recollections of an Australian Squatter',

The whole book, 'Recollections of an Australian Squatter', written by Brodribb in 1883 and recounting his experiences from 1835, is a fascinating read and full of references to Monaro, William Bradley, and of course my Brodribb family. Anyone have access?
THE RYRIES: AN AUSTRALIAN PIONEER
FAMILY by JOHN EDWARDS
is at an advanced stage of preparation
and will be published in late 2006. About
80 illustrations including a dozen in colour. It will be a limited
edition and therefore subscribers are sought to raise the money
necessary for printing. I hope to keep the retail cost down to around
AUD30 plus postage & packing. If you are interested, please
email John Edwards at
norrongpress@ozemail.com.au
Once I have a firm idea of the costing of the book, I will contact you
and invite you to become a subscriber.
Dear Friends,
This is just to advise you that the
publication of my book on the Ryrie family may be delayed by a few
more weeks, partly due to my ill health and also because the Ryrie
family have requested some major changes, including the name (now
THE RYRIE FAMILY: AUSTRALIAN PIONEERS) and both cover designs!
However, rest assured that the book is otherwise nearly finished
and will come out soon.
It has also become obvious that my original idea of a pre-publication subscription scheme was too unwieldy and therefore it's better to just sell the books after they are printed. I will be in touch again as soon as this happens.
A copy of this email has been sent
to most people who have contacted me but could the lady who has a
daughter at Monash University please contact me again at
norrongpress@ozemail.com.au ? Unfortunately I lost all her
details in a computer crash some time ago. If anybody else feels
they may have been missed, please email me at that address.
In the meantime, thank you for your interest and support.

Eddy Cernigoi [mailto:monarobm@bigpond.net.au] David for your information: I thought I would send you an email about a new book that you may want to put on the Monaro Pioneers Website. Barry McGowan who is a Canberra based author and historian has written another book called “Dust & Dreams: Mining Communities in South East New South Wales”. It combines the research done in his previous books with further and expanded research. Regards Eddy Cernigoi Monaro Books & Music From Shirley Sproats <ssproats@bigpond.com> I picked up a Sproats family history book from the printers last week, copies of the front and back pages are attached. It is a book that I researched and wrote about the Sproats: Christopher & Elizabeth Sproats – an account of the Sproats in Australia from 1858 onwards. All up there are 248 pages with some 160 photos. It is about the lives of the original settlers, Christopher and Elizabeth with a chapter given to each of their children – the first generation Australian born. One chapter is given to a second generation family who were also well known in the Bega District. It is also a book about community life. The book has been crafted from births, deaths and marriage records, probate packets and other archival material both in Australia and the United Kingdom; Bega District newspapers were trawled on microfilm at the State Library 1865 to early 1940s. Every mention of the family from the big things to the small things in life is woven into the book plus family trees included. The book also includes a chapter on the Sproats name and a chapter on the search for the ancestor, Thomas Sproats' birth. The family tree is validated back to the marriage of this Thomas in 1769; we know from the age on his burial record that he was born c1740. It is a book set in a time when idleness was not an option, social welfare was effectively non-existent and not everything had a monetary value. There is also a high level of interest in a reunion. If doable, I was thinking early April 2014 in Bega but the groundwork is only just starting on that. I was wondering if you would kindly publish the existence of the book on your website and in your next newsletter. Also, descendants who might be interested in the reunion, if they would please contact me on either email: ssproats@bigpond.com or mob: 0404 02 6947.
