Autorenporträt
Growing up, Bruce knew almost nothing about his great grandparents Donald and Annie McLennan but a ski trip to New Zealand in 2001 sparked his interest in their lives in Timaru and Akaroa. In Akaroa, fortuitously, there was a single photo of Rev Donald and the committee just inside the door of the Trinity Church - the church that had been built and opened in 1886, while Donald was the minister in Akaroa. Who were these people in the photo? Where had they come from? How did they co-operate together to build a new church and entertain each other? Since then, his research has taken him to many other parts of New Zealand, Lithgow district (NSW), the South Coast of NSW, the Darling Downs, Mullumbimby, Scotland and Canada. Bruce McLennan is a retired Chartered Accountant and lives on Sydney's Northern Beaches. His interests include travel, research and history. Since 2011 he has been the worldwide coordinator of a Clan project to build a worldwide on-line genealogy resource of McLennans. He is an honorary Life Member of Clan MacLennan of Australia
