Title: McKENNA
Post by: iluvretro on Tuesday 12 May 09 03:48 BST (UK)

hi everyone, I've joined up here recently in search of my irish ancestry which is also McKenna. My great great grandmother was named Catherine from County Monaghan in Ireland. She emigrated to New Zealand in 1854 aged 19, her occupation is a general servant. I have no idea of whether she had siblings or who her parents were.

I am assuming she was Catholic.

Sorry my mistake about her birth year, I checked my records and she was born in 1853 or 1854.
