Thomas
Power Decedents visit from New Zeeland
We Were delighted
to host a visit from a group of Maori from Hamilton New Zealand who are descended
from Thomas Power who left County Waterford in the 1830S . Robbie
Neha and his Family are Trying to trace their Waterford ancestors . Robbie is a
television producer / Director and he is making a documentary on their Power ancestor. Tom Roa gave a PowerPoint presentation on the
families history in New Zealand . Conner Power of Waterford county council brought
them then to Dunhill Castle and they also met with the county and city archivist
, Joanne Rothwell.
Willie was
presented with carvings and paintings as donation to the Waterford County
Museum . It was a most unusual and enjoyable evening and we wish them luck in finding
more about Thomas Power’s origins.
