If you have read this far, you deserve a reward!  Here's what happened to Goerdie McKenna all those years ago. Geordie was a merchant seaman and we believe he went down at sea in December 1914, off the "Lizzards" on a steamship called "Waterloo".  But his family thrived in Canada as you can tell by the family tree above. 
 
There are forty-four third-generation children alone! Most of these grand-children of Pat, Rita and Jean have married and gone on to have children and grand-children of their own.  How many?  Come to the reunion to find out the final numbers and meet as many of them as you can!
