McCann Family

I am descended from Peter McCann, an Irish convict from the 1798 rebellion, transported for seven years. Peter arrived on 11 Jan 1800 aboard the Minerva and was immediately assigned to a working party. My granddaughters are the ninth generation to live in Australia and the eighth generation Australian born. We are all extremely proud of our heritage.
