WHO ?
The criteria for names to be included on this site are as follows:I am also including any Irish Noonans I can find, and Noonans limited to the first generation born in the USA or elsewhere, to help me explore possible family connections.
- A person with the surname NOONAN ( or NUNAN ) with a connection to Australia and their male ancestors
- Spouses of (1) and their parents
- Children of (1)
- All persons to be born before 1939
HOW ?
I have extracted names with genealogical information from indexes and books in my local and state library, as well as online. This together with my own family research and contributions from other researchers in Australia and overseas has produced a database of 18300 entries.
LIMITATIONS
The database is by no means complete, however I believe it is a good place to start. I have made some assumptions in linking together certain families - especially in New South Wales where indexes do not show the mother's maiden name. Many names are not linked yet. If you find a mistake please let me know.Any information extracted from this site should be confirmed by purchasing the relevant certificate.
CONTRIBUTIONS
I would be very grateful for any piece of information, no matter how small, that can be contributed to this project. Gedcom files would be fine or a few lines in an e-mail.
