Usage Agreement

Welcome to the Rawsthorne family tree. To view the family tree information and graves you must agree to ALL of the following conditions.

Any information gained from the "Rawsthorne family tree" and associated pages, is for your personal family tree research only.

You may not copy, sell or distribute the information contained within this website. Information sourced through other means may be verified from this site with no restriction on use.

You may not use the information contained in this website to cause other people any harm, embarrassment, humiliation, in either public or private. The data may not be used to the detriment of anyone who's details are or are not contained within the pages.

None of the information may be used in any sort of illegal activity, such as, but not limited to, identity theft or obtaining false documentation.

The site data is privatised, and any requests to have further information removed will be considered. Much of the information contained within is also located in books, family trees both online and available to researchers via various sites. Total removal of sections of the tree will more than likely not occur. Just because some of the data is the same as your research does not mean you are the ONLY researcher of a particular line of the family (in fact some of the more unusual surnames of the family are the most researched of all).

This is a huge project, and errors will occur within the data. Any errors are not intentional, and will be corrected whenever possible, once the correct information becomes available to me.

All photographs on this website are Copyright David Rawsthorne unless otherwise stated. Images are not to be used unless written permission is gained from the owner.

The data within the pages are privatised, so people born after 1918, or married after 1945, and have not passed away, will not have dates shown at all. Once a person passes away, no matter when their birth, they will have complete dates listed.

Should you have a problem adhering to any of the above conditions, you must leave the site, and not return.

14 July 2010 - All editions of the Field Family Newsletter have now been added to the website.

11 July 2010 - A few recent updates to images of people, an updated tree, as well as more editions of the Field Family Newsletter (up to Edition 37, February 2009) have been added to the website.

1 May 2010 - A few updates to Orange, Bathurst and Nowra Cemeteries to include new photographs, as well as upgrading old images to better digital ones

9 March 2010 - A massive update of the people have occurred in recent weeks. over 1000 items have been updated with new dates, places and many hundreds of people have been added. There are also a lot more images of places and people online.

The biggest thing is the addition of the Field Family Newsletter. The Field Family Newsletter was produced 4 times a year from December 1999 through to February 2010. It was excellently edited by Dorothy Cefarin, and contained historical images, stories, as well as information on the births and deaths of family members. Due to ill health, Dorothy is no longer able to continue to produce the newsletter, but has kindly permitted me to include copies for people to see on my website. Only some of the 41 newsletters are currently online, but I hope to add 5 to 10 a week until they are all available.

We wish you well in the future Dorothy, and thank you for permission to place them here so other family members can read them!

20 January 2010 - Uploaded a couple of updates family stories as well as an updated family tree containing about 500 place updates and a few people and name updates.

18 January 2010 - Redirected the entire family tree site to the new site's index page. I might go and make things a little nicer and redirect certain pages to their relevent new ones, but this works for now. Oh and I have a bunch of new cemeteries to add later this week.

I may also include a historic cemetery - the Old Sydney Burial Ground as I now have comfirmation of at least 4, but possibly more, burials there. This is now the site of the Sydney Town Hall. There will be no pictures of graves as such, but I'll see what I can find in terms of historic pictures.

15 January 2010 - Uploaded a new version of the Tree, and added 7 family stories. These will be rewritten to bring them up to date in the next few weeks.

10 January 2010 - The new tree is updated and online. Over the next month or two I will be adding a LOT of family data.
