WORLD WAR ONE

One of our members is currently researching World War One enlistments from the Illawarra area. The research covers any person with a provable link to the area before their enlistment. If the person was born here or worked here before or up to the time of their enlistment, then they qualify for inclusion. Currently the list includes nearly 3600 names and includes an index of all associated names and details taken from the Illawarra Mercury for the time period August 1914 to end December 1919. The list also includes aid workers, munitions workers and nurses as well as all of the letters published in the paper, there are hundreds. An index for the South Coast Times, is currently underway. There is no cost involved and the access is based on an exchange of information and currently he has diaries, letters and memorabilia and has identified many people who enlisted under false names and details. Contact can be made at ww1illawarra[at]gmail.com

Illawarra Pioneers - pre 1860

This work is progressing slowly. We are still entering the data from contributors into RootsMagic. From here it will be exported via GEDCOM to a text file and modified before importing into Relatively Yours 3. From here a Biographical Index will be printed listing everyone in the database in alphabetical order, with all cross references to spouses, children and parents..

By entering into "RootsMagic" and "Relatively Yours 3" we will have 2 fully searchable and printable databases that are Lineage linked, - not just a book. This database will be continually updated as more information becomes available or corrections are required. The Final output can be in a book format or on CD as a searchable and printable PDF file.
