P.S.  Have to run -- my live-in artist just drew a mural of an octopuson oneof my living room walls.  I guess, when you're three, when one's musecallsyou must respond immediately.  That's okay -- I haven't put the paintcan awaysince he used a painted broom handle to rub/draw a picture on my dining

roomwall.  Happy Thanksgiving to the N. Americans!

Hi everyone,            If anyone has any CRYANs  buried in Lowell, MA cemeteries

between1880 to the  present ,  and would like me to look-up an obituary,  give

 mename and date.             I go to the Lowell library every Monday and Thursday night.

Doing my own CRYANs,  I have accumulated a large number in my own file.

Dear Karen,   Do Crehans count? Lowell is where my mother's father's family lived,

and some stayed there while some moved down to Brooklyn. If it's anytrouble don't worry about it, but I would really be interested in mygreat-grandfather's name, DOB, etc and this might help.

If you do look them up, Crehan names thatmight be related to me are Augustine/Augustus; Arthur; Catherine; Helen;James; Lawrence, all born around 1890-1910. I don't know their father's

name, but he was from Roscommon (we are pretty sure) and we can onlypresume was born in the 1860s or 1870s. He died in the 1910s, possiblyearly 1920s. This is so unhelpful and I know Crehan obits might be quitenumerous in that part of the country. So I won't be disappointed if youcan't wade through it all.

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who celebrates it, by the way. Theresa Mary,

still sleep-deprived and writing badly from term paper night

I have recently discovered that I had an Uncle Patrick who died in

October of1911 in New York City (Brooklyn to be exact)  He is buried in Calvary

Cemeteryin Woodside, NY with his mother, Catharine and his sister Nellie.  I

justreceived his death certificate and found out that my great-grandparents

wereJames Cregan and Catharine Fitten both born in Ireland.  I decided to

postthis as it is new information hoping that someone can make a connection.

Thanks,Ruth

Thank you Caoimhghin for the Turkey postings -- I found themThanksgivingmorning in my email inbox, printed them, and was able to share themwith myfamily (who also enjoyed the long story very much).  Since I was atravellerand had no food dish to offer, your story filled its place -- and I'llnever

look at a large turkey in quite the same light again ...Ruth, give me a chance to look through my stuff and see if I findanything foryou -- if you haven't heard from me within the week, nag me.  I know

I'vepromised to look for others, but if you never heard from me, pleasefeel freeto give me a nudge/reminder.  I've got a lot of balls in the air rightnow,and I'm not the least surprised if I drop some along the way (nor am Iput outwith reminders).Kathleen, what ever came of the Isle of Man Craines?  In reading mymessageafter posting it I realized I may have sounded more exclusive than Iintended.

Lastly, the next message from me is a longer one, as it is a re-typingof theCreasers' Roman Catholic Register findings in Boyle/Roscommon.  Thereareabout 80 entries, with my usual format of "-" in fields where noinformationwas available.  They are almost exclusively "Cryan" and "Crine", with a

fewother surname entries.  By the way, I require no gratitude for typing-- I'drather it was given to Caoimhghin and the Creasers for doing the realwork --finding the information and getting it passed around to this group ofinterested people.I hope to get something else typed and up to the list by the end of theweek(I think a lot of the remaining stuff is shorter).  -Leslie

Thanks to Karen who offered to look up Lowell, MA Cryans et al., I have

learned plenty about my grandfather's family. I know now for certain

thatmy great-grandmother was Catherine Logan from Galway and my

g-grandfatherwas Matthew Crehan, son of Augustine and Eliza, who we will still have

toassume were from Roscommon. I've got dates, occupations, and all sorts

ofneat things, but I just wanted to share that jubilation first. Tomorrow

I'll have time to start rounding up FAQ-like stuff and if people are

interested I could post all the new info about my Crehans.Interestingly,

the third son was named after the father as someone suggested was

traditional Irish practice, so maybe I could look up the rest of that

system and surmise other possible relative names from those of the many

children.Theresa Marywho never knew a single great-great-grandparent's name before

  Subject:          [CRYAN-L] Exciting news for some      To:          CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com

ESPECIALLY     Anthony Cryan     ALERT !!!  -  a cautious EUREKA !!

Hi everyone,After a rather distressing time I am here again. However , I do not

have agreat deal of time to do much writing but I have followed the recentmailings with enthousiasm. Thank you for it all.In the last few weeks my film of the Keashe RC parish records arrived

and Ispent some time looking at them.Sadly they are intermittant and seem in quite poor condition. They

cover theperiod roughly 1842 -47 and 52-55 and then there is a later transcriptof

1872-80 ish (these later transcripts are written in minute script). Ifanyone has seen any other periods of time for this parish I would bemostgrateful to know - my family interest seems to just miss these dates.

Even15 Jan 1845 - 3 Nov 1845 is missing - I think thay my Daniel is likelyto bethere and my John, just before the records started. Is that fair I askthefates ?One item of interest from these records is that the baptisms include thetownland/hamlet of the candidate (if one can read it, as the edges of

thepages are badly aged). From this it seems that the congregation camefrom a

much wider area than I imagined - it seems a huge parish from almostBallymote to almost Loch Gara and there are people from Gurteen.One explanation for the missing records (especially 1847-52) could be

connected with The Famine and its aftermath. Priests died too, and werenotreplaced . Villages could not support their own priest so amalgamatedtemporarily with another parish. The population declined by about ahalf ormore in some areas. A few missing pages in a book can imply the weight

this. Andnot where he expected. Something always comes up sooner or later - I

did notforget your interests.

14 April 1846 baptism of   JAMES CRYAN  of Broher(now written Brogher or Brougher,

about2 miles NEish of Gurteen and next hamlet to Carrowcrory)

Parents Dominick CRYAN and Catherine CAWLY

Godparents Patrick BREHENY and Sarah MORRISOE(I think this is the

nearest ,but writing difficult to read)

Michael, I think that this is the John that we have been talking about

20 Nov 1845    baptism of John CRYAN of Durnaska (or variation)

Parents  Patrick CRYAN and Mary HART

Godparents Michael CRYAN and Catherine CAWLY (likely to be a different

onefrom Dominick's wife as this is only 5 months before the above event

........... unless !  But there is no marriage record for them in the

intervening months but it could have taken place in another parish. I am

trying to cover all possibilities here. The other thought is that a wife

could have been known by her maiden name - is that too far fetched?

What doother think ? Have you met it before? Does it alter things?)

If this is yours Michael then so is this

1 May 1844  baptism of James CRYAN of Durnaskea/Derrinaska

Parents Patrick CRYAN and Mary Hart

Godparents Mathew/Michael(diff. to read probably the former) and Sarah

HART

Perhaps Patrick's father is a James , eldest son being ofter called

afterhis paternal grandfather,(if this James is the eldest son)

This is enough excitement for you all for this week.  We do want to

continue.........Until again and another exciting episodeRegards to allEve

I think also that Michael may be right about the 20 families in Keashe,

itwould seem that almost every entry is for a different family.

The County Cork list has been conversing for the last few weeks about

19th c.traditions of celebrating Christmas in Ireland.  I thought the

following was aparticularly interesting message to share with all of you, too.  Do any

of youknow of any Crean/MacCroghan/Creaghan type traditions (especially those

of youborn to the name)?  It'd be neat to find that an unusual familytradition was

a common link between cousins or branches of the family (we won't knowuntil

we try).  -Leslie (I'm off to call my grandmom to find out if she can remember her

mother's family's traditions)

Hi-I always heard that the candle in the window was to give a signal to apriestduring the time of the penal laws. If the priest (who were in hiding)saw acandle, he knew it was safe to enter and say Mass.

>From O Come Ye Back to Ireland by Niall Williams and Christine Breen -

Santacomes to the front door on Christmas Eve, leaves a pile of gifts andthen

knocks loudly.

"Of all the traditions associated with Christmas Eve by far the most

prevalenttoday is the lighting of the coinneal mor na Nollag, or the big

Christmascandle. In each household the coinneal mor would be lit in darkness and

placedin the front room window to burn there until morning. The origin of the

customis that the candle is lit to show Mary and Joseph that, unlike the inn

atBethlehem, this house would always welcome them. In the same way it is

customary to leave all doors unlocked that evening and when going to

bed toleave some food in three dishes upon the kitchen table as a welcome for

the"travelers to Bethlehem" "

Congrats to Lyle, Theresa Mary (and Karen), ?and Anthony?  And welcome

back,Eve, we missed you.

Theresa Mary, please post the details ... the story is more than half

of theinterest for me!Eve, I, too, am interested in the famine years and their repercussions

-- amjust finishing "The Famine Ships" by Edward Laxton and am shocked by

what Iread.  The hardship of life for the common man is amazing.  There is a

sectionin the book about landlords from the Sligo area essentially removing the

"excess pauper population" by hiring ships to "emigrate" the tenantry. I

suppose, at some level, these could be considered some of the luckier

poorpeople of the period, given the starvation rate.  I've searched what

few listsare in the book for O'Creans and haven't found any (unless they are

anglicizedbeyond the forms I instantly recognize) particularly mentioned.  It'd be

interesting to determine, for those of us whose families emigrated, when

precisely they did so and for what reasons.  It'd make an interestingpart of

our family study to better understand the transportations and emigration

patterns, I think.Somewhat in that vein, I have a specific inquiry regarding time

periods.  Somuch of what has been posted is 19th c., naturally.  Caoimhghin and I

havewondered how we can start making headway into the 18th century.  Wendy

withher Craun research knows her ancestor was transported in the 1790s, and

through the list we've picked up a couple of other random 18th century

O'Creans/Creaghans/MacCroghans, but does anyone know of more source

materialfor that century?  I'd love to start digging up stuff to see if we can

linkanyone back to those 17th c. Bishops et al.  (Barbara, this is your

lead-in..)

--Leslie

P.S. Caoimhghin, received the loot -- how is it that you're always,like, 40steps ahead of me?!?  Am presently trying to get the Croghan birth indexprintout typed up to post.

Someone correct me if I've gotten this wrong (through the list) because

I'mrelying on my never-trustworthy memory:

First son/daughter named after Paternal Grandfather/grandmother

Second son/daughter named after Maternal Grandfather/grandmother

Third son/daughter named after Father's Oldest Brother/Sister

Fourth son/daughter named after Father/Mother

Maybe, Theresa Mary, your ancestor's father didn't have an older

brother, soas the third son he was named after the father instead?

Well, I had heard that the father = 3rd son elsewhere, but I think this

kind of thing is likely to get mixed up. But I haven't checked on what

therest of the system was to see if the naming pattern fits in with what I

had heard. In the case I've just learned of:

Second son = paternal grandfather

Third son = father

First daughter = maternal grandmother

Second daughter = mother

There is no connection that I see with the others, although I don't knowthe names of any aunts or uncles. I suppose they might not havefollowed a pattern at all, although the info I have leads me to believethere might be a child who died and isn't mentioned, so maybe the seconddaughter really = the third daughter.That sounds really confused. Well, after I post my new names and dates

andhave a nice pizza lunch for mental energy, I'll get down to FAQ-hunting.

No obituary found.Buried at St. Patrick Cemetery,  Lowell, MA  15 Nov 1918.

-----------------------------------------------

Lowell Sun,  Wednesday  27 May 1953

Obituary

         Mrs. Catherine M.  (Logan)  Crehan died Sunday at the home of

herdaughter,   Mrs. Margaret Flanagan,   2248  Stewart street,  Brooklyn,

NY.She was born in   County Galway,   Ireland    and came to this  country

when alittle girl,  having resided at   52 Fruit street, (Lowell),   for many

yearsprior to removing to  New York about 30 years ago.    She is survived

by fivedaughters,   Mrs. Margaret Flanagan   and  Mrs. Julia Addeo,   both of

Brooklyn, NY;  Mrs. Mary E. Whitlock  of  Irvington, N.J.,   Mrs.

CatherineWard of Newark, N.J.,  and Mrs. Helen Fleischman of Glenridge, N.J.;  a

son,John L. Crehan,  retired member of the New York police department;   17

grandchildren  and five  great grandchildren.

Funeral  Thurs. 28 May, 1953  

St. Patrick's Cemetery, Lowell,  MA

She also sent me info from the 1922 Lowell city directory about some

members of the family. Augustine was listed as Augustus - he was called

Gus, and my mother and aunts weren't sure what it really was either, so

perhaps whoever gave the directory the info had forgotten as well. (My

grandmother started out as Antoinette or something like that in Oct.

1909,but her mother kind of forgot and she lived as Theresa b. Dec. 1910 for

almost seventy years. But that's not even Irish family history.) So, in

1922, August* was occupied at a "car shop," his sister Mary was a

"winder"at Shaw Stocking Company, his brother John was listed as "removed to

Brooklyn" and his mother/my g-grandmother Catherine was listed as the

widow of Matthew. 52 Fruit Street was the family residence at the time.

 

Most recently, the tireless Karen has sent me the obituary of James

Patrick Crehan, the seventh child listed above, from the Lowell Courier

Citizen. He died August 9, 1931 after a "brief illness" in New York

(presumably Brooklyn as those relatives who were living here in Brooklyn

are just listed as in New York.) It says that he was a resident of

SacredHeart Parish in Lowell, and lets us know that only one of his surviving

five sisters was yet married. It seems that every surviving child in

the family except for Augustine came down to NY around

1922 or 1923.

 

Only twelve children are listed above, and a couple of the

"?" birthdates are well after my g-grandfather died (OK, the SSDI shows

that my great-uncle John was born shortly before the wedding, but I am

pretty sure that this part is not accurate.) It may just be another

familylegend, but we always thought there were 13 children, so perhaps one

diedvery young and was never mentioned in the directory or otherwise.

I'm actually thinking that maybe my mother and/or sister and I can take

atrip up to Massachusetts sometime to see the gravesites and whatever is

at52 Fruit Street now. My sister likes Boston and Lowell is pretty close

soshe might be into it. Since Catherine Logan Crehan came to the US as a

"little girl," someone must have been with her, so maybe there would be

relatives buried nearby, records at the church if it still stands, etc.

Sorry this is quite disorganized! Off to lunch...Theresa Mary

hi    Its important to remember that the first daughter was often named

after Mary - as in Jesus's Mother, or a variant eg. Mary Elizabeth -with the naming pattern continuing as before. Have others found this in their family trees? I would be interested toknow just how common this was......

Hi Cryan Cousins:

My mother (who was a Cregan) would light a "blessed" candle onChristmas Eveto light the way for the Christ Child.  On New Years Eve she wouldinsist adark-haired man cross the threshold to bring "good luck to our home"throughout the new year.  My mom was raised with her grandmother who was born and raised inIreland.  Mymother would always have a superstition for just about everything.

By the way, my name is Mary Joanne and my cousin's name is Mary Eileen. Yes,Irish (especially Catholic Irish) mothers often gave their daughtersthe firstname of "Mary" out of respect for the Mother of God.Happy Holidays,Joanne Tyler-Tucker

     Unfortunately, I only have my Creans up to the 1700's---then theymarryinto the Kirrane's who marry into the Brannicks back in C. Mayo.  Itwas agreat uncle Laurence Brannick who researched our family tree back along timeago and put in writing this information.

     My ggggggrandfather Arthur Crean (Prospect House) married a Mary

MacDonnell(Clooneen or Clonneen Castle)  Their son was a Francis Crean who maried

a JoanBlake of Coolcon Castle.  Francis and Joan had my ggggrandmamaCatherine Crean

who married a William Kirrane--a name extremely common and confined to

theBalindine area of Co. Mayo.  There my Crean name disappears into the

morepowerful husbands name.  I think Catherine and William would have lived

aboutthe early 1700's.  Would be nice to connect with some later day Creans

as I amsure my information would be quite welcome to others but unfortunately

I havefound in all my Irish ancestors a blank before the early and mid 1800's

unlesssome scholarly great uncle happened to write it down.

an adultas a young girl.  Kids were not unfrequently travelling alone, or with

anuncle/family friend, to join parents or older siblings already here. Keep theoption open, is my suggestion, because I've looked at a lot of ships'listswhere kids were travelling alone -- even a child of 10 yearsshepherding ayounger sibling (2-3 years old).  I've certainly gotten the impression

Irish Christmas Traditions

By Patrick J. O'Hara

Christmas in Ireland was probably the most important of the Christianfestivals. Both spiritually and outwardly, the season was considered atimeof rebirth and regeneration.Houses were cleaned from top to bottom, linens washed, and floors andwallswere attacked with vigor, often by using sand. Pots and pans werescoureduntil they shined. Barnyards were cleaned, and buildings were oftengiven

their yearly whitewashing.Children were encouraged in their prayers, and often they would tally

howmany extra Our Fathers and Hail Marys were said during the season.Peoplethat had not attended church in a while would be seen at services.(Thesepeople were often known as "the hardy annuals", because of their yearlyattendance.)Children also would collect ivy, holly, or bay leaves to use as

decorationsfor the season. Loose leaves were strung together, and often pieces ofcolored paper were sewn into the patterns of the leaves. In the latenineteenth century, travellers would sell pre-cut paper decorations,printedwith religious sayings on them.

On Christmas Eve, candles would be placed in the windows of dwellings,inhonor of the Holy Family. This custom was to show Mary and Joseph thattherewould be room in these households, even though they could not findlodgingin Bethlehem. According to Kevin Danaher, in his book, "The Year in

Ireland", in west Limerick, "... It was the custom to leave the doorsopenand a candle burning in every window, and in addition to leave a tablesetfor three people 'to have a proper welcome before the travellers toBethlehem.' A Dish of water was left on the window ledge to be blessedbythe "travellers", and then kept for curative purposes." In other areas,onelarge candle, or the coinneal mo'r na Nollag, was kept lit throughoutthenight, starting at the Angelus at 6 PM.

One belief was that the donkeys and the cows at midnight would kneel inadoration of Jesus, and for a short period of time have human speech.However, it was considered ill form to spy on the animals, hoping toheartheir conversations, or speak to them.Before Christmas, trips to the market meant the purchase of meat,whiskey,sugar, spices, tea and other condiments. These were often traded for the

poultry, butter and eggs that they brought with them. A vast period ofswapping would take place, with farming families bringing bacon,chickens,and eggs to their relatives in towns. The families in the towns wouldthenswap "town goods", soaps, candies, and wines with their countryrelatives.

Some families would receive their portions of whiskey. Others,especially inthe West of Ireland, would get a quart of poiti'n from some industriousmembers of the family, even though the manufacture of it was banned.Most people would attend early Mass. Often, family members would takelanterns with them to light the way on the dark roads. The period beforeMass was a time of fasting, and there were a number of activities aheadforthe day.

On Christmas Day itself, dinner took center stage. It was the biggestdinnerof the year, and wives went to elaborate measures to ensure that itwould bethe best feast possible. Beef was the preferred meat for Christmas, andinmany parts of Ireland the beef of Christmas was spiced. The supply ofgamefrom hunting, the beef purchased in the town, all were presented to thefamily. While the women of the households were preparing the feast, themenand boys would be playing.After the Mass, hurling was the favorite activity of the males.According toTom s O'Crohan, Christmas on the Blasket Islands were like this: "OnChristmas Day, there was a match in which the whole village wasengaged. Twowere appointed, one for each side, as leaders. Each of those called inturnuntil all along the strand were divided. Hurleys and a ball we had. Thematch was played on the White Strand without stocking or shoe, but outtothe neck whenever the ball went into the sea. For the twelve days ofChristmas no man on the Island could drive a cow to the hill from painsinhis back and bones." In Limerick, a special ball with loose buck shotwasused, so that the ball made a louder noise. In Donegal, the matcheswould

take place after Mass, at the churchyard gate, and would continue untiloneteam managed to get the ball all the way to their township.After the dinner was served, songs were sung, stories were told, and

lifewas reflected upon. Children would tell tell party pieces, and familieswould bask in the holiday atmosphere. Thus would end another IrishChristmas.

Nollaig Shona Duit. Happy Christmas.

My grandfather, born of Irish immigrants in 1906 was Arthur Crehan. I've

corresponded with a couple of people who share an American Arthur

Crehan afew decades older (will have to wade thru messages, as I've started to

anyway for faq reasons, for details.) Recently there was also a post

mentioning an Arthur Crean around the 1700s. I've heard talk of my

Crehansbeing without their 'h' back in Ireland, but who knows. So anyway, since

we've brought up first names with the Mary thread, I'm wondering if

anyoneknows if Arthur was a name of significant popularity or unpopularity at

any time in Ireland? My first-name books all give inconclusive "Celtic"

and "Gaelic" sources, and I've associated it more with Scotland. You

rarely meet an Arthur among the many sons and grandsons of Irish

immigrants around here. So I just hoped it was more likely that these

listmembers and I would find a closeish connection because of the shared

firstname. Anybody have any thoughts?

Hi all, One thing it is hard to remember for all Irish descendents, is

thatuntil 1922, Ireland was part of Great Britain. QueenVictoria was on the

throne from 1838 until 1902 when Edward VII became king. Arthur was a

namein fashion with royalty at this time and thus became popular with

ordinarypeople. My father too was given the name Arthur in 1903 I think for this

reason ,with John his second name being his paternal grandfather's

name. Itwas rare to have more than one name, unless MaryAnne or MaryEllen

recordedin the national registers until after 1880ish but very often a second

namewas given at baptism a little laterThe rise and fall of the popularity of particular names can often be

linkedto real heros in battles or exploits or heros of fiction or honouring

royalty or saints etc. I can not remember when the Arthurian legends

wererevived but I know there was a popular Gothic Revival period in the mid

19century reflected in architecture, paintings and literature.Just some extra thought for you to ponder.

Thanks, Eve. One of my name books actually mentioned Arthur's popularityin England in the 19th century, but I hadn't been sure it would affecttheCatholic Irish. Actually, most of my grandfather's siblings had middlenames, as did their parents (well, I have their initials anyway) who

wereborn in Ireland in the 1870s.

To Jill and Anthony (and anyone else),

I was wondering this very day about shareware.  Could you guys tell uswhat you tried, where you found it (and how clean the site) and what youdidn't like about it?        Also, thanks to Karen I have the first names of the parents of an Irishimmigrant ancestor (Moloney, not Cryan).  Can anyone suggest a way totracethe origin of someone from the name, the first names of the parents, arough birthdate (since the 19th century Irish all lied about their age,itseems) and the rough date of passage (since other dates had to bealteredto conform to the fictitious age).        I'm sending a request to the (U.S.) National Archives for arrivalrecords(on their required forms), in case that information is there.  I alsosuppose that a search by each county heritage society might turnsomethingup, but that would be quite expensive, and since Moloney is so common,theproblems we have with Cryan are multiplied.

        Any suggestions?    Roger Martin Cryan

I just got my rootsweb update notice for December, and see that threeof you

all have posted your surnames to rootsweb's list -- good for you!  I

hope youstart getting emails / connections relating to that....  For those of

you whohaven't yet posted the surnames you're researching to rootsweb, go to

www.rootsweb.com and do it!  It's free!  And sponsors of rootsweb get

monthlynotices of new postings of the surnames they've posted (saves wear and

tear onthe old keyboard from having to go back and check all the time) ... a

nicelittle service.

Erica, I noticed you have a new/another web site?  I haven't been overthereto look at it yet -- do you have info others on the list might beinterestedin looking at?As regarding overload ... well, we lost a subscriber who felt"underqualified"for the list -- but we're still in touch, so they may come back.  But I

needto warn you all that my contact is about to get more random.  We've(finally)made the decision to uproot again.  The next two months will be packedfull ofthe present-day for me and my genealogy "habit" will have to take backburner.I'm sad to leave Chicago, but we're heading to Washington, D.C., whichcertainly offers plenty of attractions (but, oh, Kathleen, how I shallmissMarshall Field's!).  Of course, soon I'll have the whole of the LibraryofCongress to search for O'Creans, Creaghans, and MacCroghans!  Anyone onthelist in the Maryland area???

Lastly, I was fortunate enough to attend my last Cryan's daughter's (in

otherwords, my grandmother's) 80th birthday celebration this weekend.  We

had greatfun remembering all of her sayings -- agreeing that you can take the

girl outof Ireland but you can't take Ireland from the girl.  "Lord love a

duck!"(used like 'for goodness' sake'), "If wishes were horses then beggars

wouldride" (ie, that's not going to happen), "That's a lazy man's load" (try

harder), and a few others I think I've mentioned before on the list --

"Morefool you", "More's the pity" and "God Bless us and Save us, says Biddy

O'Davis" (Mrs. O'Davis to you, right Michael?).  Anyone else recognize

these?I look forward to reading your messages as always .... Leslie

Well, I'm not sure how helpful this is, but I wanted to see if I could

luck out easily by doing web searches on some of my new Crehan names.

Oneof the links for "+crehan +august*" on altavista.com was

http://www.westchesterclerk.com/indexes/nat_co.html. This is Westchester

County Naturalization Records Index, 1808-1927 (that's in NY.) The site,

http://www.westchesterclerk.com, lists some available archives and has a

(seemingly costly) e-mail research request form. I'm just mentioning it

because there were a few Crehans, a Crian, and a Crean (possibly others)

listed with some odd codes after their names on the Naturalization

RecordsIndex, so it *might* be of interest to someone. Probably not, though.

    One more song I remember my Grandfather singing goes like this.. Of

course I can only remember the Chourus! (NO pun intended) Oh how they

Tittered how they laughed when they heard the Lawyer declare,,Granny

died and left to you her old arm chair..(Then it went on to say that the

bottom fell out of the chair, and it was filled with gold and jewels and

all sorts of valuables..The last chourus was sung full of glee and

revenge for having been ridiculed.).Oh how they titter how they laughed

when they heard the lawyer declare Granny died and left to you her old

arm chair..   Lyle

John Dixon sent the following to me and has given me his permission to

forward to the list.  It is a comment on my email re a Scottish

tradition.The "first-footing" in the North-East includes bringing in a piece ofcoal -apparently to ensure a warm fire all year - but may it have some linkto the"black" item you referred to.Traditionally the first-footer had to be a dark-haired man (??Blackagain),who was given a piece of silver - usually a florin - and a drink ofsherryor similar.I recall vividly that on my walk to collect my grandmother to come toourhouse for New Year's Day lunch I was waylaid by several older ladies,livingon their own, who were superstitious about going out of their housesuntilthe obligatory dark-haired man had crossed the threshold.  Despitebeing avery young dark-haired man I was thought to be big enough to fit thebilland remember little about the subsequent afternoons through a haze ofsherryand jingling pockets!Feel free to forward this to the list if you think it of interest - Icannotpost to the list direct.

    To:        CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com

hiThe Croghan list of births was the result of a visit to the Croghan

parish priest a couple of years. He proudly showed me the complete

computerised parish records going back to 1812. I then asked him

gingerly if he would mind if I copied down all the Cryan birth

references. "Havent you a camera there?" he replied, "Why dont you

just take a picture of the pages - sure thats what the Americans

always do!"Mind you, I did feel like a CIA agent taking the pictures.....
