The purpose of this section is to coordinate the activities of the McKenna Family Research Team. Each meeting will have an agenda and minutes, and links to the Skills Training Topics we’ll discuss.
Our objective is to establish a dedicated core of knowledgeable individuals who will collaborate on family history records research and DNA analysis, building expertise and shared resources in preparation for continued genealogical research.
Below are links to the Source Documents Folder, which contains records we are currently researching. We also have a spreadsheet that we use to track Unlinked Families we are researching to potentially find a connection to our ancestors. By researching these other families, we hope to gain further information about our own lineage.
