Hi Trish!

There is another lady on here who has Hanna ancestry as well and is from Belfast. My personal email is (*) . I have a tree on ancestry. I'll review tonight to see what can be found.  ;)

Hello again!

I did go to Ireland last year; but was only able to spend time in the south where my maternal grandfather is from. I've no doubt that the Hanna's are related. Below I have included a quote from the will of John Hanna, one of my relatives and obviously yours.

"I, John Hanna of Kildrum Kills in the County of Antrim, Bleacher and Dyer hereby revoke all testamentary dispositions made by me and declare this to be my last will which I make this twenty-fifth day of April one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five. I appoint my brothers, Robert Hanna and George Boyle Hanna to be the executors of this my will. I bequeath to my wife Sophia Mary Hanna an annuity of fifty pounds for her life..."

I will keep looking. I'll also be in Ireland in October and have plans to stop in Ballymena and check things out. The Presbyterian Church usually keeps great records. I found some locally in upstate NY where some Hanna family had lived. I am certain there is additional information in Ireland. Our Hannah branch came from Scotland originally- that I am certain of.

Here are the very basics of what I have. Happy to send you a tree when I meet with the older relative bc apparently she has a lot of memories that should bring all of us related together.

Margaret J Hanna was born in September 1867 (d. 1923) in Glarryford, County Antrim to John Hanna (1811-1899) and Margaret (nee Houston (1842-1923). I am not sure who her parents were... still working there. John's parents were Robert and Catherine (nee Peters) Hanna.

Siblings of Margaret's that I know of were: Samuel, Robert, Elizabeth, Katherine, Agnes and Sara.

Her father John's siblings were: David, Katherine, William and Robert.

John's father, Robert Hanna was born after 1750 in Ireland and died in Ballymena, County Antrim.

Yes I am sure the family was somehow related. Even when they came to the States, they didn't lose their faith. Btw, I have found a few Reverend Hanna's in Ireland. Have you ever tried contacting them?

Hello! I am new. You mentioned Hannas and my gg-gm, Margaret was a Hanna. She was the daughter of John and margaret (nee Houston) Hanna She came to the States from County Antrim. I have a lot of Hanna history that supposedly goes pretty far back. She was Presbyterian as all were that I knew of. I am meeting with an older relative next month and am happy to share what I find.
