The scope of The Biographical Reghister of Kilmore
and District People is very
wide. In the case of district and in fact the whole region’s squatters
it lists most in the
hope that any family connections may be found. It lists some of the known
burials in
Kilmore, Pyalong, Wallan and Darraweit Guim cemeteries, as well as the subject’s
known burial place elsewhere, if known.
In addition to listing known births in Kilmore, it also lists policemen,
teachers,
ministers of religion, bankers and postmasters or postmistresses. Other
trades such as
cordial manufacturers, newspaper owners, builders, chemists, printers, brickmakers,
saddlers, blacksmiths, hotelkeepers, railwaymen are also listed. Known architects
of
Kilmore and district buildings are also listed as are people who had an
outside
influence on Kilmore, such as absentee landowners, politicians or authors.
An ongoing project is one to establish lists of Kilmore people who either
lived in
Kilmore and enlisted in a war, or served in a war and later came to the
Kilmore district.
