Welcome to my family,

 I have named this tree 'The Cummins Family Tree' simply because Cummins is my mother's maiden 
name.  However I am open to 
suggestions for another suitable title.  I am hoping we will be able to pass the responsibility 
of administrator on as time goes on so 
this tree keeps on growing from generation to generation.  On my computer I have 4,512 people 
connected with our family directly 
or by marriage.  It will take me a few months to load it all up .  Please note this tree is 
being built and updated when I have time.  Please email me at violet_dargan@hotmail.com if any 
of the information appears to be wrong.  Please accept my sincere apology and I will amend the 
information as soon as possible. 

At this time I am not the oldest in this family but am old enough to be able to remember family 
connections talked about by my 
parents from stories told to them by their parents uncles and aunties.  

My aim is to collate what information family have given to me to present date and collect 
anything i can so that a comprehensive set 
of oral history stories and data can be made available for a family reunion.  

Last reunion was held in Hughenden at Christmas in 1974 due to the loss of my uncle John 
(akaJack) Cummins and my brother George Davis. I paid for that reunion and family came weeks 
before and left weeks after.  At the 
end of it my mum said our grieving was 
over and we were in deep grieving all of 1974.    In 2004 on my 50th birthday another family 
reunion was attempted however not all 
members of all the lines coming down from Dinah attended.  Some of my cousins went on a little 
drive down around different sites 
and recorded a video of things they remembered.  Hopefully I am able to share that one day.  
Now Ten years later on my 60th 
birthday I am blessed as my brother and sons are  footing the expenses to celebrate my birthday 
but to me it is a family reunion.  

I have set up this family tree as during the party we will be able to get some good family 
photos and stories.  This site offers a 
download of a cd for a computer, printable fancy charts and reports that maybe of interest.  My 
favourite part of the site is you are 
able to record stories so if you have any let me know and I will load them up for you.  Things 
that you think are not important will 
become important and generations later will be only too glad you took the time to share.  

Some family  are actively involved  in addressing  Native Title. This is a good chance for our 
information to be in one place where 
everyone can access it at anytime providing they send me their email so I can send them and 
invite.  My email is:  
violet_dargan@hotmail.com please contact me with any issues and I will do my best to address 
them.

Deepest respect to all our family who have passed as I load information to this site about you.  
I am sure you are looking on with 
great 
interest especially my mother who loved sharing the facts of what was what and how to make 
something back in the day.  

Lets make some memories too and share what we can
Love Always
