WAGS

A Genealogy Treasure Trove

Colonial Secretary's Office - Inwards Correspondence

The CSO's inwards correspondence Letters from 1829 to June 1835 have been indexed by WAGS member Graham Bown on behalf of the Society’s Special Interest Group, the Swan River Pioneers 1829-1838.

The letters are indexed by author and by name, both are now available in our Members Only Area (MOA).

WAGS 11th Battalion Project Video

Some of the men in this 8 minute video are known to be in the WW1 Cheops Pyramid photo of the 11th Battalion, others are possibly there and not yet identified. Some of the men are known not to be in the photo and joined the 11th Battalion after the photo was taken. Many of these men paid the supreme sacrifice at Gallipoli, and at the Western Front. Lest we forget.  See video below...

New website launched

Lorraine & Cherie, who just happen to be WAGS members, have been heavily involved in the development of this terrific new website.

Supported by The National Trust, The Friend of Battye, and by Lotteries West this new resource is a significant step forward in providing information on the burials at East Perth Cemetery (see link below). It will be greatly appreciated by many family historians around the world, not just here in Perth.

The West Australian - Inside Coverup

May the Fourth be with you....

Our friends at The West Australian have given WAGS a couple of free plugs in the recent past, for which we are grateful.

One article in tragic circumstances, when the Fremantle Dockers bombed out of the finals in September last year, was classic (see below). The second article on 22nd April this year was highlighting WAGS success, as opposed to the Dockers lack of same (see below).
