Hi
The following is a

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

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
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
isreleased for
"disposal" ie burial, cremation, or even transport back to
TheFHC in
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
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
holdtelephone
directories and Yellow Pages. I would think that they should
beavailable in
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

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

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.

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.

"Thank God we

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."

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

Subject: [CRYAN-L] Diary/Log of William
CRYAN To: CRYAN-L@rootsweb.com
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.

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
