Welcome to
the Clarence River GenWeb Project (CRGenWeb);
a genealogical hub for those researching ancestral ties in the
Clarence Valley. The Clarence
Valley is a local government area formed in February 2004 by
the amalgamation of Grafton City, Maclean Shire, and parts of
Copmanhurst, Pristine Waters and the Richmond Valley.
The area includes the coastal plain and lower valleys of the
Clarence and Nymbodia Rivers. The largest
town and council seat is Grafton. Other towns in the
region include Maclean, Yamba, Illuka, Junction Hill, Ulmarra
and Coutts Crossing.
The Clarence
River originates on the watershed that marks the
Queensland border. After flowing south and northeast for 394km it
then empties into the Pacific Ocean at Yamba. On its journey it
passes through the towns of Grafton, Ulmarra, Cowper/Brushgrove,
Maclean and Harwood. Its chief tributaries are the Mann River,
Nymboida River, and Orara River. The river features many large
river islands such as Woodford, Chatsworth, and Harwood Islands; and
supports a large prawn trawling and fishing industry.

Wanted:
One generous volunteer willing to adopt me!
I'm a good little website, a child of the
NSWGenWeb Project. I do as I'm told and I
never talk back. I need someone who will watch
over me; who will pick me up when I'm feeling down;
who'll feed me and make me grow; someone who will
take pride in my achievements; and who will assist
me in reaching my full potential. I am hosted
for FREE so I wont tug at your purse strings and I
am happy to plod along at whatever pace you wish to
set. If you don't like the way I look - change
me! I'm easy to maintain, non-commercial and
user friendly ... please won't someone be my
friend?
