This chart is a new addition the Craft Genealogy Section covering the Lancaster Branch – more of Heather’s and Gina’s ancestors.
It has been compiled purely from NSW BDM Indexes and the Australian Cemetery Indexes together, it is definitely open to corrections, additions and adjustments, I was seriously fascinated with the name Bebeannah which is what got me started! Anybody know the history of it? Please come forward.

MILLER BACKGROUND…
How the Millers came to be in Australia we still haven't discovered!!!
Maybe they swam???
This is definitely one of my brick walls!
From detective work thus far I believe that George & his brother Thomas arrived via Tasmania as Thomas resided, married and had children there. After his wife's death he moved to Bingara, NSW to live near his brother George.

This book is dedicated to all those fellow researcher’s in my mother’s birth family – hence the ‘maternal’ category. If you haven’t been here before or know us, my mother Peggy was adopted. We have no past personal historical history with this line except what we have learnt from our massive network of family members. Along the way we have met and maintained relationships with cousin Toni in WA (Miller family), cousin Tim in Qld (Melrose family), cousin Sue (Melrose family), cousin Fay (Fritchley/Saich famiy), Gail (Mundy family).
Along the way we are gathering a massive internet family to whom we also acknowledge through this book, without you all, we wouldn’t have the information or family grounding that we have today. So, thank you!
MAJOR SURNAMES:
CUMMINS, Burke, Davis, Fritchley, Halliday, Hamilton, Irvine, Jones, Matthews, Miller, Melrose, Mundy, Prisk, Schofield, Sullivan, Wilkinson, Young
Here we have the maternal lineage which is broken into several groups again, please check the pedigree chart below to help guide you along the way, then the links for the family groups may be found underneath this

Index
- It’s kind of a misnomer calling this section Cummins as there is no history to be found or connected for this branch. The history in this section is of Ada May’s family, Hamilton/Fritchley.
This is my grandmothers family, a cousin from Kempsey has told me they are Daingatti (Dainggatti), from the research I had done I thought they were Biripi as Nan was born at the Railway Reserve, Walcha. If anybody can help me out with this, I would gladly receive your advice or assistance.
