Sharing our McLennan genealogy for our children along the way. Video updates from Bev

Nationwide

McLennan, McKenzie and Scottish Highlanders unite.

Annie Grant McKenzie McLennan Johnson's husband died in 1903. He married into a ready made Scottish family of women whose parrot could not only swear in 3 languages, but it could translate English ,Gaelic and Norwegian.

Expect a celebration at the completion with a new gathering of the clans, a laugh from shared stories and a kind word of encouragement.

The Matriarch Catherine McKenzie, Mclennan gathered her family in 1871 for their voyage to NZ .

This gathering will be child's play.

Skype, Zoom, email and phone each other.

Keep healthy and safe.
