Book

First published 1941 - 385 pages

Compiled by  Alexander Henderson in 1941, this was a follow on from his earlier volume of 'Early Pioneer Families of Victoria and Riverina: A Genealogical and Biographical Record'. The intention was to publish a series covering the whole of Australia in multiple volumes. Sadly this one (volume 1) was the only one ever published before he died.

In compiling this work, the author had three goals in mind:

    * to set out briefly the records of the early pioneer
    * to carry the family genealogy down to present day
    * and (where possible) to show the lineage

Listing hundreds of families that lived in the Victoria and Riverina region, additional to those in his earlier work. Each includes important fascinating biographical information, a brief listing of descendants and usually photographs of family and/or houses.

The publication includes an index of those named in the text, photographs, illustrations.
