Was Googling my name and found your inquiry.
My name is Charles Patrick Creed, II, age 46, reside in Louisville, Kentucky.Named after my uncle, a Roman Catholic Priest.My great grandfather immigrated from Cork during the potato famine.Citizenship papers have him entering the country in 1851.His name was Thomas Creed, died circa 1890.He didn't fair well in the US.Worked for the railroad and died a pauper in Louisville, Kentucky.His son, my grandfather Michael Egert Creed 1902-1991, did much research but only remembers stories of Thomas at a very young age.His first son, Charles Patrick Creed, my uncle the priest, was named because of a distant relative "back home".
My sister has done extensive research on the Creed family, including visits to Ireland, and I will discuss with her any findings relating to my name.
Hope this helps.
