Welcome to my web site which comes to you from the suburb of Belmont in the city of Geelong in the state of Victoria in Australia. Many hours of work have been put into the research and documentation of the 8478 individuals in 2689 families using 1637 unique surnames. I recommend that you access the surname of interest by using the Surnames or Name List buttons at the left of this page. I hope you will benefit from the information I present here. This site is updated as time allows with new family information and images as they are collected and prepared.

The current database (9 February, 2008) includes updates relating to simple errors and many additional snippets of information which add up to fill in the whole picture. I have also recently added over 1300 new individuals who are mainly descendants of John WALTER (1799-1862) and Elizabeth WICKETT (1801-1874) whose family was so important in the establishment of the WALTER name in Victoria.
