Shaw Albums | Other People |
The links above are to "access points" to an extended family tree which includes at its core about eight generations of the ancestors of my kids. There is one page for each person and that page is linked to that person's spouse/s, children, parents and grandparents where known. Unless permission has been given it only includes those born more than a 100 years ago. From the "ancestral core" the links can wander off into areas that have interested me at one time or another, sometimes quite a distance as with the "Sandiacre Doars". There are even a number of "unlinked" pages for all sorts of reasons. Some of these came about while trying to identify people in the old Shaw family albums and some like George Clauscen just because someone asked about the origin of Clauscen Street (strangely he turned out to have lived in a house once owned by my g-g-grandfather). These pages family tree individual pages were created automatically using the Legacy Software which builds sentences by combining the information in the database with a set of standard phrases. The trade off for this automation is that the syntax can at times seem a bit convoluted. |
Many of the photo albums of the families of Alfred and Herbert Shaw have survived and until recently were with my great aunt. When she moved to a nursing home they were distributed around the family. Over a few years I've scanned most of them and recorded what captions were available. Many of the photos now appear on these web pages and the intention is to make them available to anyone who is interested and to seek help in identifying the people and places they show. On the web site the photos are interspersed with chunks of family history, photos from other sources, scanned documents and maps. All of the photos on the web have been reduced and some have been cropped. I can provide my original high resolution image on request. |
The above are links to areas that have changed or been added over the last few months. For most the updates will include some of the closely linked pages as well. Much of the information on the Shaws in Perth and Collie came from a quick visit there last year. The Alfred Shaw & Hayball pages are part of my attempt to write up the information I have on my direct ancestors. The AS&Co in Qld page concentrates on what I have on that company in Brisbane & Townsville. It includes some great images of the the company stands at the 1876 Brisbane "Ekka" from the Oxley Library and long descriptions of the stores from contemporary newspapers. The Hubert & Roberts updates are to do with our London ancestors and include new material on linked pages as well. All except George Clauscen are related and can be found in the chart on the Family Trees link. |
