'Genealogies Mornington Island Queensland 16 May - 3 July 1963. Expedition symbol AM.'

This bound volume contains genealogies collected on Mornington Island (Queensland) in May and June 1963 and Doomadgee (Queensland) in July 1963 (Board for Anthropological Research expedition AM). The genealogies were collected by NB Tindale (see AA 338).

The genealogies generally show more than two generations, and include a range of information, from names, age or birthdate, place of birth, to notes on personal history such as place of residence. They are recorded on double foolscap sheets. Genealogies have the place at and date on which the data was recorded written on the top left hand corner. Individual subject numbers are also recorded, and these can be used to refer back to the data cards collected on the expedition (see AA 346/4/24).

The volume contains genealogies collected at:

  • Mornington Island (Queensland)
    Genealogy sheets 1 to 55a


  • Doomadgee (Queensland)
    Genealogy sheets 56 to 76.




Each group of genealogies is followed by a name index. The volume also contains a list of 'People Measured at Mornington Island' and some general notes.

This item contains references to: Queensland.
