This biographical register attempts to record briefly, information on some of
the families that settled on the Darling Downs in Queensland by 1900.
The entries of the families have been submitted, mainly, by descendants of
those families. Biographical details have been checked, where possible, against
government records, early local newspapers and other, generally later,
publications. Each entry has a paragraph about the pioneer and family, and
photographs have also been included, where possible.
A typical entry contains full name of pioneer, as well as any variant
spellings, born date and place, died date and place, burial place, who they
married along with their born and died details. Sometimes the spouses parents
are listed as well. Then the listing of children to the couple: names, birth and
death dates and places, who they married and sometime occupation.
Published as a two volume set, the first covers the pioneer listed with
surnames starting with A-K, the second volume is L-Z. This series preserves a
wealth of information that has been passed down through family stories of the
early pioneer families.
