Welcome to the web site for the Wood/Phillips and O'Neill/Ruddell families. Members of these families came to (mainly) Queensland in Australia during the 1880s - some even earlier in the case of the Phillips family who originally settled in Paterson, New South Wales.
This site is the outcome of a number of years researching the families and finding a whole swag of cousins and other relatives. Particular thanks goes to Wendy Edmond and Melva Wood. Over the years, the three of us have investigated, foraged and collected documentation, photos and miscellanous information to build up the story about the Wood and Phillips families from Bundaberg and its surrounds. I have also focused on the O'Neill and Ruddell families - the Ruddells from Bundaberg and Mackay and the O'Neill family from Mackay. Eventually, I hope to have them all available on this web site.
If you have any information about any of the family members you find on this web site, please contact me. Old family photos would also be greatly appreciated. Also, please contact me if you want to ADD someone or if you find any ERRORS in the information on the site.

25 April 2010 - I've expanded the family tree quite considerably since I set it up last year. I've discovered numerous cousins across the world plus brothers and sisters of various grandparents that were never mentioned. I also have hundreds of new photos which will be eventually uploaded.
05 Oct 2009 - Most of the family tree has been uploaded to the site. The next step is to start adding the photos and some of the more important documentation.
01 Oct 2009 - Finally made the decision to set up the family web site - a work in progress!
