Hi

The following is a letter (or version of) sent by email to the Bognor

Regis tourism and the Family Record Centre about a week ago. I have

yet to get a reply from either. Has anyone any advice regarding how to

go about  finding information on Charles - particularly those

researchers living in England?Thanks Kevin

 

Dear Sir  or Madam,

I was wondering if you could you help me. I am trying to trace my

father's cousin Charles Cryan. In our last contact with him he said he

was working in a pub in Bognor Regis in the late 70's and early 80's.

He was born on the 14th May 1939. We are still not sure but we think

he might have moved back to London. We believe he died last year (or

1997) and would like to find out if his death was registered and where

he is buried. Would it be possible to get a list of the pubs of Bognor

Regis and the names of popular local newspapers that I could write to

for information or recollections of the local people? He trained as an

actor for a while and may have joined the Paras for a short period. I

know that this is very vague but it came as a shock to us to hear that

he may be dead and we would like to find out any information about his

life.Yours sincerely,Kevin Cryan

Hi,

It is necessary by law in England to register a death, before the body

isreleased for "disposal" ie burial, cremation, or even transport back to

Ireland or anywhere else. Therefore if he died, he must be registered.

TheFHC in London, from my dealings with them, need all the details and they

will provide a certificate for payment - now £7.50 per certificate(I

think).The application form I have here requires the index number or if one is

unsure about the index number  on the back is a space for other details

likedate of birth(if died after June 1969), place of death, date of

death,etc.Here in England, they do not provide a low cost photocopy as they do in

Dublin.I am also not sure how quickly the books of indexes are put onto the

shelves. If they are there, I will certainly look it up when I next go

toMyddleton place ,as I am planning to in the next month. If there is

only oneCharles Cryan during the period, there is no problem but if more than

one,what can one do?(private e-mail)

All our major libraries here in England have reference sections which

holdtelephone directories and Yellow Pages. I would think that they should

beavailable in Dublin and for England. It would be a good starting point

tolook for information about Bognor Regis. However I think that the

touristoffice will eventually reply with the town brochure which should give

thelocal newspapers and their addresses.

Service records - I am sure that I have seen something about that

somewhere.I will enquire but a good starting place would be to enter "Public

RecordsOffice" into one of the search engines - probably Yahoo or Altavista are

best for this but even better Dogpile which searches all the other

searchengines at http://www.dogpile.com

Will speak to you again Eve

EMIGRANT RECORDS 

  by Brian Bonner Mavrogeorge <Brian_Mavrogeorge@broder.com>

     The Learning Company

Between 1820 and 1860, 20 percent of America's immigrant

population was from Germany, and in the same period the largest

group of new immigrants was Irish. Every step of the way through

the process of immigrating to the United States, and in some

instances to Canada, these people left records and documents. So,

if you know where your gateway ancestor lived before emigrating,

check for information in the "old country" localities.

 

-- At the national level. In order to emigrate, the person may

have had to prove he was released from service to a nobleman

(letter of manumission) or that his military service was

completed. Then he would have to apply for a passport or "permit

to emigrate." These records might have information about birth,

residence, parentage, spouse, and children of the emigrant.

 

-- At the local level. Many people emigrating had to use

baptismal records to prove their identity. The local minister

would issue a certified copy of their baptismal entry with their

name, birthdate/place, baptism date, and their parents' names.

Often the minister entered into the register something like "went

to the New World in 1740" next to their baptismal entry.

Sometimes the emigrants simply received a letter that identified

them as a member of a specific congregation. Estate and property

settlement records in the "old countries" may give information

regarding an emigrant's departure.

 

English court records include names of people who committed

misdemeanor crimes and were sentenced to serve as the indentured

servants of plantation owners and businessmen in the colonies.

These owners and businessmen paid for the servants' passage. Many

of those court records have been abstracted and published.

 

-- At the ports. North American researchers often check passenger

lists for arrivals at U.S. and Canadian ports. But remember that

such lists were created at both ends of the journey. While not

all lists have survived, a search for both can be worthwhile. In

some instances government agents and real estate companies

recruited workers, and they maintained lists and recorded the

location of the lands they would settle. The lists sometimes

contain the emigrant's residence at time of departure, the cost

of the ticket, the name of the person who paid the fare, and the

final destination.

 

According to the Immigration and Naturalization Tutor that

accompanies Ultimate Family Tree <http://www.uftree.com>, there

are more than 3,500 printed emigration sources (and some on

CD-ROM). Use those indices as finding aids and to establish where

your ancestors came from. Then systematically search that

location for the records the emigrants left behind.

HUMOR. We've heard that U.S. current events were noted this way

in a letter to the editor of the Australian newspaper, "The

Sydney Morning Herald":

 

"Thank God we got the convicts and they got the Puritans."

I was asked by a gal who got your message re Cryan deaths if I would

write to you since we are both searching for the same ancestor. She

worksand is quite busy. She knows I am retired, but I have more than 8-5

hours. Anyway, that is all just a little humorous aside.

We are searching for a Michael Crehan, born in Ireland, March 5, 1852.

Weknow that his father was also named Michael. Now all this is a real shot

in the dark, because we don't know where in Ireland he was born. Had a

closed mouth family and unfortunately anyone who might have known

something has passed on.I realize you said Cryan, but we are wondering if the name Crehan might

have popped up somewhere. Just have a gut feeling that the spelling was

never changed, but then who knows?Thanks for "listening" and any help if you have it.

A message I recently received from my "Geneagolgy Report".in Salt Lake

City,Utah:

Barbara:

"I checked the birth record of Anne Cryan, b: April 4, 1869 in  our

filmedIrish birthrecords and learned she was born in the townland of Templevaney in the

civil parish of Toomour.  Her father's occupation is tailor.  (Note:  it

is not uncommon for errors to be made in the transcribing of

records--that is why I suggest to clients that they get a photocopy of

anentry rather than a certificate which increases the chance of

transcription errors.)  This area is contained in the Catholic parish of

Drumrat.  The records for this parish begin after the birth of Anne

Cryan.  Ichecked for several years but did not find any other children listed for

James Cryan and Mary Foley (her parents)in the parish baptism records.

Thisarea is quite close to where your Keaney family resided.  I wonder if

thereisn'ta relationship between the families given the fact that there appears to

be an aunt named Mary Cryan in the Keaney family.

I also checked the civil registration marriage indexes from 1864 through

1869 but did not find a marriage record for a couple by this name.

Thereis an entry for a James Cryan in 1868 that I need to check although

therewas no corresponding entry for Mary Foley.  Since the marriage entries

for that parish also began after the birth of Anne and church records

were the source of the civil registration marriage records, it may be

that no marriage record will be found."

Thanks again Kevin.  Let's stay in touch.

For those of us who are researching in the Keash area or in the

adjoining Boyle area, I was recently contacted by a John Brehany who is

originally from Keash and who is in the process of setting up a Keash

Website.

His email address is john@brehany.freeserve.co.uk if any of you are

interesting in contacting him. I think that initially his Keash Website

will be mainly dealing with the natural features of the area.

I will post details of the site here in any case, when its available.

John has alot of information on his own Brehany ancestors. What is very

interesting for any of us with Keash connections in this area, is that

John's information on his name goes back to the Cromwellian plantation

when his family were transplanted from Cork to Keash.

This raises the possibility that other families in the area were also

transplanted there, including the many seemingly unrelated families of

Cryans??? Note that John's research doesn't suggest this - I'm just

speculating on it.regardsMichael

Therefore if it was not on the film (and there are mistakes or

omissions) Ihave no way of knowing what is in the parish book.

Until again - Eve

Thank you for William's descriptions, especially as all my family come

fromLiverpool. At That time my mother would have been about 6 yrs old, her

father was in Palestine in the army "following Lawrence of Arabia" so he

said - meaning ,I think , that they went to the same places after him !!

He used to take us, 30 or so years later, down to the river to watch the

ships anchored in the river waiting for the tide to enable them to float

into the docks because the rise and fall of the tide is about 20 feet.

Wesaw many of the great transatlantic liners and could understand the

emigrants feeling that there was new life and new hope awaiting over the

horizon, to the west.Now there is an excellent maritime museun in one of the old, very old

docks,which I think has lists of people who passed through to emigrate

westwards.

I have just found 8 CRYANs on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission

sitewhich has only been active for a short time - they are the on lt CRYANs

recorded.One is mine I think some of you may find them interesting. .SO WATCH THIS SPACE !

until again Eve

I have recently learned that some of my Cregans came from Newcastle in

CountyLimerick.  I have gotten a list of names and birth dates from a friend

inIreland.  He got them from the parish priest in Newcastle.  I thought I

wouldpost them here in case anyone can shed any more light on these folks.

Patrick Cregan born 1857

Catherine Cregan born 1858

Bridget Cregan born 1859

Catherine Cregan born 1862

James Cregan born 1864

Michael Cregan born 1869 ( my great uncle) parents Catherine Fitton and JamesCregan

Morgan Cregan born 1871

John Cregan born 1874

Thomas Cregan born 1876

I am hoping for more details in the future from my friend in Ireland,

butuntil then I thought someone else might have one of these names in thefamilytree.Ruth

Hi Ruth

The LDS Vital Records for the British Isles for Co Limerick has all the

Civil Registrations for the period 1864 - 1874. I have come up with 15ofvarious parents but none after 1869. Perhaps those on your list were not"registered for the nation" but appear in the baptismal registers only

However the following did appear

Mary CREGAN born 31 March 1867 in Newcastle, co Limerick, Ireland

                parents James CREGAN and Kate FITTON

                Civil Registration     FHL number  page 563

Michael CREGAN born 28 Sept 1869 in Newcastle Co Limerick Ireland

                 parents James CREGAN and Catherine FITTON

                 Civil Registration    FHL number page 543

I hope that this is helpfulEve

Hi A quick note to researcher.Rootsweb.com is an enormous internet site for those interested in genealogy. It has an email mag giving stories of people who have found long-lost relatives.

It has a surname mailing list so people can exchange info on their surnames. I have built up 220 pages of info on my surname (and variations) since Jan 1998.

CONNECTING THROUGH ROOTSWEB. Thanks for sharing your stories.

Recently, I returned to Seattle from a four-day visit in the

Tampa, Florida area with my newly found sister, who was separated

from me when I was five years old, 65 years ago, and whose

daughter, you may recall, found me via the RootsWeb Surname List

on Christmas Day. What a thrill! I believe we hugged and bawled

for at least 15 minutes straight in the airport lobby while the

rest of her family stood all around us and cried, too.

It was a wonderful reunion. Words can hardly do it justice: four

days of catch-up, and I had been worried about what we could talk

about after 66 years! She finally has her correct birthdate. She

had lots of trouble with Social Security and driver's licenses

because she did not know it and so she could not get a copy of a

birth certificate. I filled her in on all the things I have

learned about our family from my search, mainly via RootsWeb

Lists and the Family History Centers. Other than the total

disappearance of any record of our mother, the only area that

remains a mystery is when, and from where in Hungary, our

grandparents immigrated. So the search will continue but now it

will be sweet work.Again, thank you and all the RootsWeb folks for being God's

instruments in this case.

For all you folks looking for births in SD [South Dakota], they now have 100 years on

Go to the URL below... just fill in last name and all those name will

A WORD FROM THE SPONSOR: TIPS ON CITING INTERNET SOURCES

       by Brian Mavrogeorge, The Learning Company

           <Brian_Mavrogeorge@broder.com>

Source citation basics include identifying who wrote the

information, the form in which the information appeared, and who

the publisher and/or repository of the information were. Provide

enough detail to permit some evaluation of the source and to

enable yourself and others to find the exact source you used.

In EVIDENCE! CITATION & ANALYSIS FOR THE FAMILY HISTORIAN,

Elizabeth Shown Mills, CG, CGL, FASG, FNGS, applies these basics

to the Internet. To make it easy to follow her guidelines,

Ultimate Family Tree (UFT) <http://www.uftree.com/> contains

source templates authorized by Mills. UFT users can document

sources easily by selecting a fill-in-the-blanks template and

answering these questions:

1. Who wrote the information? This is the author, the compiler,

Webmaster or creator of the Web page. Because electronic mail

addresses such as JohnSmith@fastsurf.com and URLs (universal

resource locators) -- addresses of Web sites -- change

frequently, Mills recommends that you also provide a postal

address of the originator.

2. What is its form? This might be "e-mail to author," "family

file," or "Stanton Family Association Web site."

3. Who published the information or in what repository is it

located? This should identify the e-mail user, the Webmaster's

name, or the name of the organization. It also could be the

page's URL.

4. When was it received? Because of the issue of permanence (or

lack thereof) of information found on the Internet, indicate the

date the information was downloaded or received.

To facilitate evaluating the reliability of the source, cite not

only the Internet source, but also the source on which it is

based. Has the Webmaster done a partial or full extraction from

the original record? Are the
