Update to this post, which I placed quite awhile ago.
James McKenna (1820 Donagh, Monaghan, Ireland - 11 Jan 1881 Fort Augustus, PEI, Canada)
Spouse: Mary Trainor (1822 Ireland - 28 Jun 1896 Fort Augustus, PEI, Canada)
Sibling; Hugh McKenna (1818 Ireland - 17 Dec 1881 Fort Augustus, PEI, Canada)
Spouse: Ellen McGaughey /McHany / McHaby (1820 Ireland - 21 Jan 1891 Fort Augustus, PEI, Canada)
Genealogist claims parents
Patrick McKenna (1801 Femanagh, Ireland - 15 Jun 1890 Fort Augustus, PEI, Canada)
Unknown spouse died about 1831 in Ireland
Possible brother:
Peter McKenna (1825 Ireland - unknown)
Spouse: Rose Burns (Byrnes)
Possible Half Siblings:
Parents: Patrick & Alice (unknown)
Francis McKenna & Agnes King
Patrick McKenna & Bridget McCullough
1881 Census lists the 3 below with parents Patrick & Alice, the census does not list relationships
1891 Census Lists the 3 below as siblings
John McKenna 1840
Ellen McKenna 1844
Catherine (Kitty Ann / Katia) 1874) mother (Alice) would have been 58 yrs old when born.
Could she be a child of John & Ellen, and the census marked incorrectly?
Looking for any descendants of brother Peter or the half siblings, and with luck a dna test to help confirm, these theories as I have not seen anything to support the claim.

It's the McKenna Clan you'd really need to ask.... http://clannmackenna.ie/

Hi, Dan. I'm following the PEI Mckennas also. Specifically I am looking for a connection between my wife's Great Grandmother, Mary Kate McKenna (Carbonear and Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland), and an Ellen McKenna of Vernon River, PEI. Not much help to you I know but I thought I'd share just in case. All the best.

Thank You All for the help.
Ann,
The 3 that you posted:
the first one married in 1836, would be to early for marriage
putting them at about 16 & 14 yrs old.
But the parish is a perfect match
The marriage in 1842 is more interesting, however their first child
was born in 1851 in PEI, Canada. I also believe they were in PEI, Canada at that time.
However I will keep a copy and Thank You for your efforts.
Let me know if anyone needs any help, will try to return the favor.

Frank,
Have you done a dna test yet?
-
Yes, Dan. I have done a YDNA test. However the McKennas (or, as they sometimes called themselves, Kennaugh) are related through my wife's family. My daughter has had her atDNA done but no McKenna matches. My wife's Great Grandmother, Mary Catherine McKenna, is a total mystery except that she was somehow connected to the McKennas of Vernon River, PEI. No luck so far tracing her.
-
Frank would love to check her kit vs mine and look for anyone that maybe common to both.
We may have a small match as sometimes you don't inherit as much from one parent or grandparent as the other.
My test was with FTDNA, and I am also on Gedmatch.

My daughter has a match (4th cousin to remote cousin) with a Margaret McKenna on FTDNA but no information is provided by the match. The match is 32 cM with an X Match.

Dan: If you want to compare your kit with my daughter's, I would see if she's agreeable, if you wish.
