E-mailHave just read about the opening of a gold mine at Majors Creek. I came to several "Picnics" back in the 60's as a child, while my grandparents caught up with relatives. I wasn't interested in family history then. My Stuart ancestors were mining gold there from 1852-53. My maternal grandparents and their parents were all born at Major's Creek. I am also descended from Wiggins, Keytes, Weatheralls,
Bells, Lewis' and Barnetts and related to all the families who married into those families. I love to wander through the cemetery and realise I know all those families and how they fit into mine. Long may Majors Creek prosper!!!

E-mailWhat a marvellous weekend in the life of our village. It was the 150th Anniversary of the Annual New Years Day Picnic. Decendants of our pioneering families and their families came
together from far and wide to reminise and join in the festivities. Our thanks go to those who worked hard to make it the success it was. May this tradition live on in the village for years to come.

E-mailWhat a magical place is Majors Creek!I am a descendent of the Jury Family and the family home that they lived in still stands on the corner of Araluen and Larmer Street.I have been following the mining issues with fear and trepidation wondering what it all means for this beautiful town. The place where once a year throughout my childhood through to teenage years my family travelled to.The same friendly faces year in year out.Thanks for the memories that are kept alive by websites like this.

E-mailgreat to see a website about the happenings in Majors Creek, home of my forefathers.
I will post a blog on my visit to Messines to trace the footsteps of our relative Thomas John Cook who lost his life at Messines in 1916. I traced his last days and the position of his demise.He has no known grave and is listed on the Menin Gate. I believe that Messines Cemetary is his last resting place which I will clarify later.

E-mailHi, I am looking for any family history or relatives to Charles and Hannah Wilton who lived at Majors Creek back in the 1860' to 1880's. They lived out on Izzards Lane. Do you know of anyone that may be related or have any old photos of the property or relatives. Thankyou Allan Wilton
