Turner Whakapapa

the Whakapapa of four New Zealand families
TurnerWhakapapa is the genealogy of many families who moved to New Zealand for a better quality of life - mainly by Ship in the 1800s with their children and grandchildren. Some moved for work, for their health, to escape war, or to have access to daily bread. Surnames include Hansen, Johannsen, Petersen, Genet, Taylor, Norrish, Birch, Wyinks, Gillon, McKay, Fulton, Drewe, Weber, Valpy, Jefferys, Holmes, Glossop, and Turner.

"I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also, much more than that. So are we all.”

— James A. Baldwin

Six Generations

This website has been created to provide six generations of ancestors for four New Zealand families.
The idea is to check and compare details to help identify modern relatives who have completed a DNA test.
The gaps on the trees are from names that are too common to accurately select the relative, or missing records.
The names are written here from the earliest record of that person or their most common spelling.
Note: the Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup (mtDNA) for the Hansen family is indicated by the symbol ♀.
The Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup (mtDNA) for Lorna FULTON is indicated by (♀).
The Y-chromosome haplogroup (yDNA) for Harry TURNER is indicated by the symbol ♂.

"If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.”

— George Bernard Shaw

To New Zealand

Most of these families travelled to New Zealand by Ship in the 1800s.
Several families settled in Australia first then moved on to New Zealand.
Most families travelled with their children to find a better quality of life. Some travelled for work.
Some moved back to Australia from New Zealand and their descendants live in Australia today.
