PLEASE NOTE
Despite my best intentions, I am usually very
slow to respond to email.
I am (very slowly) redeveloping the website with new arrangements which allow lots more flexibility and extra features. The dalwood.org domain is re-activated, but the website is still (temporarily!) re-directed to users.on.net/~idalwood. DEDICATION This website is dedicated to my 3rd cousins, the late
Christobel SANGSTER (née WILLIAMS) A very special thank you to
Roma GOFFETT for your
work in the UK and for your friendship. Purpose of this siteMy aim is to provide a point of contact, a 'one-stop shop', for the research and exchange of information about Dalwood and related families around the world. I want to collect and present as much information as possible about these families (including descendants of Dalwood ancestors), starting with my own Dalwood branch and its connections. It is a never-ending endeavour. Please come back again - hopefully I will have added something new. I maintain, and am willing to share with enquirers, a list of people and their interests expressed to me about any of the names associated with this wider family. I would be pleased to add your name and details of your particular interests. Your privacy will be respected, and I won't pass on your contact details if you tell me you don't want me to do so. Dalwood here and thereThe name Origins Families Our researchSo far, my attention has concentrated on South
Australia and elsewhere in Australia, and to a lesser extent, England. Many
people, most of whom are cousins (or 'cousins-in-law'), have generously shared information
with me and I am deeply grateful for their help. Information I present here is the result
of our collective endeavours, but there are still many gaps and unexplored lines. Perhaps
you have a puzzle piece? Dalwood record transcriptionsI collect transcriptions of Dalwood entries from numerous record sources (mainly from
South Australia and Somerset, England). These have been transcribed by me and by others,
and I am including as many of them as possible on this site. My family
The Overland TelegraphMy grandfather's uncle, William Trevett Dalwood was a contractor for the construction
of the northernmost 600 miles (965 km) of the Australian Overland Telegraph line. The
project was an incredibly bold venture by the government and people of the colony of South
Australia during 1870-1872. William's contract was awarded amidst controversy,
and after considerable effort had been expended, it was annulled amidst even more
controversy. About meI am an 'ex-patriate' South Australian, having left Adelaide early in 1972, to take up employment in Canberra. My wife, our three children, and four grandchildren were all born in Canberra. I am addicted to genealogy/family history, and like most genealogists, spend only a fraction of the time on it that I would like. I am a member of the Heraldry and Genealogy Society of Canberra and the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society, and I subscribe to the South Australian Genealogy and Heraldry Society's journal, The South Australian Genealogist. I am a retired engineer, having worked most of my career in information technology, developing and maintaining engineering support systems. Other technology and genealogy interests have overtaken my amateur radio activity, although I have remained licensed since 1969 (callsign currently VK1ID, previously VK1KID).
