Dear David,
A reunion of the descendants of Henry Grant Snr 1815 - 1881 is currently being planned (finally) for 2015 over the long weekend in October in Wyndham.
The year is significant as it turns out as it will be the 200th birthday of Henry Grant Snr Is it possible to have some information on this event included in the newsletter? I do have dates and events for that weekend if appropriate.
For your information and reference, I am the youngest child of Clyde and Annie Grant from Wydham.
In anticipation of a reply.
Regards
Maree Haylock (Grant)

Good Afternoon all,
Can I draw your attention to the ACT RSL website www.actrsl.org.au
It now has a entry for Operation R&R where the RSL is trying to identify direct descendants of ACT WW1 servicemen prior to Anzac Day next year.
Could I ask you to alert your members and if they are interested please to advise the RSL in ACT of their interest.

Subject: WILLOUGHBY REUNION 2015 AT BRAIDWOOD NSW
Hello David
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Sue Zammit and I live in Gisborne, Victoria. My fathers mothers family were the Smith family from Braidwood NSW. The father was Joseph Smith Born in 1843 in Pinxton, Derbyshire England. He married in 1867 in New Zealand to Mary Jane Granger She was born in 1853 in Surrey, England. They went on to have 16 children. The moved to Braidwood New South Wales, Australia in 1891 and Mary Jane went on to have another3 children, one of which was my grandmother Ethel Dorothea Louisa Smith. One of the Smith girls married into the Willoughby family that was settled in Braidwood. That is where the reunion starts. The Willoughby reunion is to be held at the RSL Club in Braidwood on 26,27,28 Sept 2015 There is a Facebook page under Willoughby reunion. I was wondering if you may be able to put a notice on your web site adverting for any descendents of John Willoughby and Mary Ann Mills. She was a half cast aboriginal. I have loads of information on the whole family if your are interested. I can be contacted at email suzyq14@bigpond.com There should be a very healthy turnout as the Willoughby clan is huge.
Many thanks for your time, hope to hear back from you .
Kind regards Sue Zammit (Gisborne, Victoria)

Hello Ian
Would the below be appropriate for the Newsletter? If so, I would appreciate you forwarding it to the editor.
My great grandfather, Robert Allendale Campbell (1862-1939), and Mary Agnes Campbell (Wallace?) (d. 1936) had 16 children together in the Goulburn/Queanbeyan area. In an article on his death in the Burrowa News he was described as an old identity of Queanbeyan . I would greatly appreciate any information/leads/contact related to this family and especially Mary Agnes who remains historically invisible to me.

Hello David, I recently came across the web page of the Monaro Pioneers, and I am interested as My wife’s maiden name was Howell,
Which you have many people of this surname listed.
Earlier this year we went to the Mitchell Library where I was allowed to read & assisted to copy, a short booklet (eight pages)
covering some of the people who settled in the area of Yass, (sometimes referred to Wargeila, Rye Park, or North Yass).
No copyright listed on this publication.
I can supply a copy of this booklet, from a scanned image if its expectable as a resource. As it mentions the Howell’s, Hassall’s, & Hume’s who apparently inter married in the early days.
(There is a connection to Hamilton Hume, the explorer, who is buried in the Yass Cemetery)
To Glean the detail from this booklet is a bit of a job as it tends to wander a little.
Please let me Know how to, or who I need to send a copy of this booklet to.

Hi Noel,
Happy New Year.
Thank you for the offer and yes we would be most interested in obtaining a copy of this document which will allow the Howell’s, Hassall’s, & Hume family’s information to be updated.
It would be most useful for us to incorporate into the Monaro Pioneer’s website if it could be supplied as a file rather than as a hard copy document. Is this an option ?

Hi Ian,
On a recent trip through the Monaro into Victoria I visited the Nimmitabel, Bombala and Delegate Cemeteries. I collected about 450 photos from the cemeteries.
Obviously too many to email to you, so i presume a CD or DVD would be ok?
Many of the gravestones have a lot of information on them, sometimes it is in the Monumental Subscriptions Book and at times it’s not.
Most of the photos are listed in the book that we both have.
What is the best way for me to name each file. Is it surname, other name(s), death date, number in book? Is it okay for you to get the other information from your book or from the photo?
Please advise
Belated merry xmas and I hope you have a happy new year.
Regards Carlene
Hi Carlene,
Wow, thanks for the offer, naturally I would love to receive these additional photos.
The best way for you to name each file is Surname, Given Names Year of death i.e. Smith, John James 1850 (Please capitalise the first letter of surname and each given name)
If you can put all the photos for a particular cemetery in a separate directory named for that cemetery e.g. all Nimmitabel graves in a directory called Nimmitabel etc.
That way I will know the name of each person in a specific cemetery and it will make it very easy for me to upload to the database and make the necessary linkages.
A CD or DVD is fine, whatever is appropriate…
Once again please let me express my sincere gratitude for your wonderful generosity and support.

Could you also tell me if there was or is any churches at Colombo? I have a marriage certificate listing that place.

Hi Suzanne,
I personally don't know who you should contact but the local council or History Society would be a good starting point. Again I don't know of any churches at Colombo but quite often marriages took place in private residences when churches were not available.

Dear Mr Harvey
I was interested to see in a catalogue of paintings for sale tomorrow at auction that there is a painting of the above who is listed on the Monaro Pioneers database. Perhaps a picture of the painting from the catalogue could be added to your database. It seems a pity for such a thing not to be kept within the family but perhaps she has no living descendants who would be interested in having a painting of her.
You will find the catalogue for the Australian and International Art auction on Sunday 7 December at the Davidson Auctions website.
Here is the painting:
Regards, Pamela Summers
Thank you Pamela,
The photo of Gwendolyn has been added to her record in our database and will display against her name in our list of WW2 Enlistees.
Regards, Ian
Thanks, Ian. It's a rather handsome portrait. Glad it could be used.
Regards, Pamela

Hi Maree,
My name is Ian Harvey and I am the website and database manager for the Monaro Pioneers Project. My wife Lynette (nee Grant) is a direct descendant (ggggrandaughter) of Henry Grant and Janet Campbell via their eldest son Robert. I have compiled and displayed on the MP site the family tree and historical information for Henry Grant and his descendants as well as his ancestors as far as I have been able to trace them thus far.
I would be delighted to display details of your proposed Family Reunion on the MP site and David will be happy to include same in our newsletter. The more detail the better to help prospective attendees understand the event and encourage attendance.
One point of correction though, Henry was born September 30th 1814 in Linlithgow, Scotland and baptised October 16 1814. Thus the long weekend in 2015 will be the 201st anniversary of his birth. You can see the baptism record for Henry displayed on our website attached to his database record.
I assume your father was Colin Clyde Grant and your mother was Annie Adelaide Copeland? Can you tell me if your father is still alive? Any details you can provide on your family would be very much appreciated?
Regards, Ian Harvey
Monaro Pioneers Project.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A reunion of the descendants of Henry Grant Snr 1815 - 1881 is currently being planned (finally) for 2015 over the long weekend in October in Wyndham.
The year is significant as it turns out as it will be the 200th birthday of Henry Grant Snr Is it possible to have some information on this event included in the newsletter? I do have dates and events for that weekend if appropriate.
For your information and reference, I am the youngest child of Clyde and Annie Grant from Wyndham.
In anticipation of a reply.
Regards
Maree Haylock (Grant)
