Kevin,

 

You mentioned on your web page that you have the Famine Immigrant List (Cryan and variants) arriving at Port of New York 1846-1851.

 

Is there a Sarah or Jane Cryan on any of those ships heading to NY?

Hi Daniel

Thanks for your mail. Basically, I put every bit of

info I have on my site.

The name Austin is relatively unusual and any mentions

of an Austin could be important as names ran down the

various siblings in even families that split between

countries.

I notice one Austin in the Cryan deaths list.

Have you gone through the cryan list archive files on

my site?

http://geocities.com/caoimhghin/familyhistory.html

There are nearly 1500 A4 pages of information

contained in these files.

Try searching the keywords [esp Austin] you have given

me.

Are you on the cryan list? the reseachers there are

very helpful...

Any Cryan and variants info is valuable.

Please do put all you know on the list or send it to

me for the archive as you never know when someone will

find connections [back to you] in the future. Any

American material would be great to have.

regards

caoimhghin

I generally dont put info from mails sent directly to

me in the archive as they are not in the public domain

and may contain personal material [unless asked to do

so]. So if you join the list [which is free] and

resend then I can put everything on my site.

Over on Rootsweb's Irish American list, they are

doing a roll call - and I

thought to myself, Self, I would love to see a

roll call on the Cryan list!

Things have been a bit quiet here lately, so why

not ask everyone to speak

up and remind the list who they're researching?

You never know, you might

see something that piques your interest.....

 

Here's how it works:

Subject: Surname, state(s)

Body of message: short roll call about where the

ancestor originated

and to what states they emigrated. Use just

surname, years and if they

went from state to state use >> between.

ie Smith, 1880s, NY >> 1890s OH >> 1905 CA

If you want to put in city and/or county, that

will be fine.

My Crehans appear to have originated in Co.
