    1. [AUS-QLD] Drawing schematics of family tree
    2. Greg
    3. I recently asked to list if there was a program available to draw an overall representation of the family tree. I have made some progress that some other researchers may like to explore. It is in its' infancy so I'm sure it is not perfect yet, but here is the address - < http://gdavis.id.au/family/trees/explanation.html > I look forward to hearing any comments, Greg DAVIS -- DAVIS Genealogy Blog - http://davisgenealogyproject.blogspot.com

Im not sure which area you are looking for your grave in. Synopsis It will never be known just how many men, women and children have died and lie buried in the bush. Many of the deaths were not registered, and they are known only because the local paper reported on them. It was not the selector who lost his life, but usually men who had no idea how harsh the country could be, and consequently took risks by walking between stations looking for work, most times with very little water, and not much idea of where they were going. Many of the men were suffering from alcohol related problems. Most deaths were caused by fever, accidents, suicide, and murder. The women followed their men, enduring the harsh conditions and sometimes not seeing another white woman for years. They died during child birth, usually the baby died as well. Young children succumbed to the harsh conditions, dying of convulsions, poisoning, and accidents. Tales from Bush Graves: Anne Alloway & Roberta Morrison published by Boolarong Press $39.95 ( but you may be able to order it in from you local library). ISBN: 9780646569246You should be able to check on-line if it is available for loan through the State Library, depending on how your local library operates. Apart from content, you may get ideas on how to research your lady. Good luck.

    3. Have you looked at other states? Is it possible that she may have gone to live with one of her children? Most of the online indices give the forenames names of parents, and not the maiden name. Do you know her parents names? Cheers Barbara

    3. Hello Val I had an ancestor die between 1875 and 1880 in the Booligal area, he would have been about 70-75 years old, his wife died a year later. Her death is registered, but his is not and there are no cemetery details for both. Presumably there were buried on the farm/property with a wooden/iron cross, the site has weathered away. Regards Alan
