Turner Whakapapa
the Whakapapa of some New Zealand families
some genealogy info about several families that travelled to New Zealand for a better quality of life - mainly by Ship in the 1800s with their children and grandchildren. They moved for work, for their health, to escape war or oppression, or to be able to eat bread every day. Several families regularly travelled between Australia and New Zealand for work, family visits, or to try their luck on the Goldfields. Many descendants still live in Australia or New Zealand today. Surnames include Hansen, Johannsen, Petersen, Eliot-Cotton, Genet, Taylor, McKendry, Murphy, Sullivan, Birch, Johnston, Wyinks, Gillon, McKay, Fulton, Drewe, Stevens, Weber, Valpy, Jefferys, Holmes, Checkley, Butler, Chambers, Tongue, Allsop, and Turner.
