Getting Started - The Family

I guess its fair to say that I have fiddled around with this blog for long enough & its time I got down to the business of telling my grandfather's story. Yet it would also be fair to say that, as a person of somewhat elementary computer skills, some technical development was required. The reader may well consider that further development should be the order of the day. I agree! But it will be "on the job" training. At some point one must get on with telling the tale, and that point is now!


I should also mention that it was important to digitise and make available the collection of artifacts from the Hay Internment Camp. There has been a great deal of interest in these items for scholarly reasons and I was very pleased to make them available.


The Alcorn story, as far as Franklin is concerned, commences with one William Alcorn.


William Alcorn was probably an Irishman. We can say that because his son, Simon, was born in Ireland. William was probably married (one source identifies a possible wife called Mary), because that was the usual thing amongst his class. William probably had a number of children, since that was the usual consequence of limited birth control, no social services for the elderly and a potentially high attrition rate amongst children. William was also, probably, a Protestant, since we know his son Simon was. And that, my friends, brings us to Simon Alcorn, son of the aforementioned William, who should bare the full responsibility for this tale.


However, before we really begin, it would probably be helpful to know just where everyone fits in. In that context, I have included below such detail that I possess as to who begat (look it up!!) whom from Simon's Dad, William, to the newest amongst us (which was a close finish between Rowyn in Vernon, Canada and Bailey in Canberra, Australia).


When studying this decendant record there are four things you should note:


  1. Those who were born in Canada and emigrated to Queensland in 1869 are highlighted in red;

  2. The number next to each christian name relates to the generational position of that person from the William Alcorn in Generation 1, eg. the 7 next to my name - Laurence Geoffrey - denotes that I am 7 generations from our Irish relative;

  3. The full date of birth of living decendants has not been included as a protection against identity theft (can't trust anyone, these days!!).

  4. There are 143 individuals on this report, together with 52 surnames. Yet it is not complete! I know that some details are missing, particularly in living generations. Please send me your updated details and/or corrections to lauriefavelle1@bigpond.com and I will edit this page. Please note that I am maintaining a substantial family tree separate to this site and, as a result, would appreciate any details you care to send, such as career/education highlights, photographs (particularly of individuals), etc.

(NB:The next post will deal with Simon Alcorn's arrival in Canada in 1821.)

We commence with a list of surnames, followed by the Descendant Report. Please note that much of the work appearing in this report, particularly the early generations, was prepared for the Alcorn Reunion of 2002, with contributions from Jan Wegert, Coral Macdonald, Norma Alcorn, Perce Leivesley, Grace O'Donnell, Dorothy McPhee, Keith Wetzig, Desley Laidler, Glenys Powell, Marie Alcorn and Cathy Christiansen.

Bern Brent makes a point

Below is a copy of an email sent to me by Mr Bern Brent of Canberra. Mr Brent is a former internee of Tatura Camp and, to the best of my knowledge, a "Dunera Boy". Mr Brent makes some interesting points and, because of their value to the historical context, I have included them here.

Hi Laurie,

The two Hay lists are interesting because in the Dunera literature incorporating many Dunera myths, one speaks almost invariably of Jewish people. In so far as among the Germans and Austrians interned in the UK in May-June 1940 and eventually sent to Australia on the Dunera, most were Jewish, that would be correct.

That there were a number of non-Jewish people who received a B and C classification at the beginning of the war (those who received an 'A' were interned at the beginning of the war) is well known. However, nobody knows what was the proportiopn of non-Jewish people among the Dunera 'anti-nazi' internees. The lists
provide a clue for researchers of whom Professor Kwiet is, I think, one.

We know how many people were in each of the two Hay camps. Here we have lists of people who were not Jewish. What I would like you to add to the list was the fact, mentioned on top in each instance, that the two lists are of Christians who are NOT Catholics and NOT C.of E. My point is that we had a good number of Austrians in the camp and of course many southern Germans are Catholic. I have yet to come across an Austrian who is Protestant.


Also, for researchers, my experience in Tatura camp 3 (I was not in Hay) could be mentioned. When the three ministers of the cloth came and asked for lists, not more than two thirds bothered to have their names added to such a list. As a result of which our camp poet wrote 'Sei Fromm' (Be Pious) for all those, Jewish, Protestant and Catholic, people who had not volunteered their names did NOT receive the goodies which arrived in camp from the various congregations (clothes, food, books, etc.).

Among the researchers for whom your website is usful, most would be German speakers. If you think it makes sense, I will pass on to you Oswald Volkmnann's little ditty as mentioned above.

Thank you for making the material available on the internet.
