Background
The Kirkwood Clan
A question that is often asked of people named Kirkwood or descended from a Kirkwood is “What part of Scotland did your ancestors come from?”. There are many Scottish Kirkwoods in Australia, and even more in the USA. There are also many Irish Kirkwoods in both countries, and it is to the descendants of some Irish Kirkwoods in Australia that this website is dedicated.
Pioneers, Explorers, and Heroes
Every large family has members whose achievements are considered noteworthy, and others about whom little is known. While there may be no Kirkwoods in a list of major achievers in Australian history, there are several worthy of mention. Their stories are included in this website.
