hello, cryan researchers. i currently am interested in learning more about the following:
1) my sligo roots. i know that my great grandfather, martin francis cryan, emigrated to the US circa 1858, at the age of 6. his brother, patrick cryan, and sister, bridget cryan, accompanied him. there may have been other siblings although i am not certain of names. their parents were patrick and catherine (or katherine) conlon cryan, from county sligo. there is no evidence that the parents emigrated to the US. we are not certain whether they died during the famine, or simply remained in ireland. the three siblings resided initially in massachusetts, and in fact, patrick resided for some time in wareham, MA, served in the US civil war and later died in somerset, MA. bridget also resided in wareham. martin (my g grandfather), was "sent" to sharon, PA to live with relatives, about the time that patrick enlisted in the civil war. martin lived the remainder of his life in pennsylvania. brother patrick had 2 sons, whose names we believe were james cryan and john cryan. each was born in wareham, and lived in boston, circa 1900. i am searching for their descendants.
i also am searching for information about the parents of my emigrant ancestors. the parents' names were patrick and catherine conlon cryan. i know that they lived in county sligo, but am not sure of the exact whereabouts.
2. before she died, my elderly aunt recalled visiting cryan relatives in swampscott, massachusetts, circa, 1920s. she recalled a Mary Cryan from swampscott, and another male relative who worked for the GE plant there. I am searching for inforamtion about cryans from swampscott.
3. in 1973, a relative of mine, Father Edward O'Keefe, died in a car accident in Natick, Massachusetts. He was a retired priest. Attending the funeral were Patrick and Mary Cryan, of Boston. I have been searching for information about these people.
Many thanks,
Karen
