Hello Derek,
How do I get to see the photos? I am a Penna descendant in Australia. I cannot see the photos. I joined the Goonhaven site but I havent seen this Penna family photo. I know Rex Penna and Raelene have visited your area and met some of the descendants that are related. I hope to one day.
Morning Jeanette, You must mave accessed my website to find the photo, go to http://goonhavern.com/wp/goonhavern-district-history/ and then you can choose what or where you want to look at photos and just follow link and then scroll down.
This William Penna (1825-1886) is the nephew of my 4th Great Grandfather William Penna (1765-1875) and 1st cousin to my 2nd Great Grandfather, Thomas Penna (1870-1931); their shared grandparents are William Penna (1766-1852) and Elizabeth Bradford (1766-1851).
Hope you found the photo interesting Gillian.
