About Newton Family & links to the Monaro District
When I began the research on my family tree, I had absolutely no idea that it would
stretch to the extent that it has. One must remember that each and every ancestor,
and descendant, are individuals in their own right. All have a story to tell and it
is up to us to try and memorialise their lives. When I was a youngster of about 7, I
spent much time with my grandparents in Cooma, NSW. They had a few acres where Pilot
Creek meets the Murrumbidgee River and here, I learn't many names that, at the time,
meant very little to me. If I was to walk around Mittagang Cemetery in Cooma or
Moonbah Cemetery, or Gegedzerick Cemetery, I would probably be related in some way,
shape or form to most of the souls interred there. If you visit these pages, for
whatever reason, please feel free to contact me via email with your suggestions,
critisisms or corrections. I always appreciate feedback and information from whatever
source.
