Title: Hepburn family
Post by: nzhepburn on Thursday 02 April 09 03:40 BST (UK)

Hi, I'm new to this message board! Any members interested in the Hepburn family I would love to share info. I'm descended from Alexander H who came to NZ in 1840 on board the Westminster with his brother Duncan and their wives, Catherine (McDonald) and Isabella (Braithwaite) Their father was James, mother Ann/Agnes McMullan/McMillan. They left Scotland 1839 and arrived here via Sydney.

Hi, welcome  ;D
One good thing to do is to add surname interests to your profile when you have time, then anyone can search to see if they have a match
(top of page, click on profile)

Looking at the surname list at present no one has NZ, but some of the Scottish ones may be a match

There is a world connect tree of someone following another son JAMES b 1801
