My Gingin Roots: Some Early Pioneers of Gingin Western Australia

NO CONVICTS HERE!The impetus for writing this book came when I realized that all my paternal ancestors came out from England very early in the colonization of Western Australia and furthermore they all ended up in the small farming area of Gingin north of Perth.The 1881 Census of Gingin records only 51 males and 46 females which means that all my ancestors would have known and interacted with each other.The descendants of these people (Edwards York King Thomas and Buckingham) can be counted in the thousands many of whom still live in Western Australia. This book therefore could be of relevance to many people interested in their Western Australian ancestors.It is not an exhaustive or definitive account of the lives of these people but rather an exciting and collaborative journey of discovery. I welcome and invite you to join me.
