Schenna
I have a picture of my mom's family from about 1905. I'm assuming they're Dutch, since the last name is Amsterdam, although one of the relatives' names is Schenna Hiene. She seems to be about 40 years old in that picture, which would make her birth between 1860 and 1870.I can't trace the last name Hiene, and I can't find a record of the name Schenna anywhere. What can you tell me?*~*BrilliantBlue*~*

According to a Wikipedia article,Schenna comes from the German meaning " beautiful pasture". It is the name of a town in Italy. It is also spelled Scena in Italian. I hope this has helped. Roo
