INTRODUCTION

This book provides details of c170 Grahams and c550 of other surnames, ancestors and descendants (including partners and spouses) of a branch of the Graham family, who settled at Eyre WA in 1877 and in the Narrogin area in 1897. Included in the book are persons who lived as family members with Grahams and Graham descendants, including partners; and children from previous relationships.
This book is based on family tree data, originally compiled by Bill Graham and updated at the annual Graham reunions. Computer versions of the family tree are held by Keith Stewart and myself. A version of the family tree is on the Internet at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gregheberle/Excel/otherft/Grahamft.xls .

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gregheberle/AdobePDF/otherft/Grahamft.pdf .
Surnames have been listed before other names, to facilitate compilation of the index.
The Graham family tree that this book is based on is not complete. For example we have very little information about the descendants of Richard John Graham of Adelaide. Much information is missing for Burnett, Ryan, Stevens, etc as well as Graham. If you have any information to contribute, contact me by mail or email.
Despite extensive checking, this book will contain errors, including spelling errors, for which I apologize. It is based on data from many sources, including interviews with relations. Peoples memories sometimes vary and are incomplete. Sources vary.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

William (Bill) Theodor Graham, paid for family tree research in United Kingdom and drew up the original family tree, which was displayed at the annual Graham family reunions at Perry Lakes. The first reunion was inspired by Lynette Graham and Doris Graham and held c1985. The assistance is acknowledged of Graham and Margaret Bowden, who have cared for boxes of Bill Graham’s family history data, since he left WA. Thanks are due to those who provided family information and/or photos and to Keith and Wendy Stewart, who have maintained the family tree, in recent years.
