All of the following pictures are believed to be Craigens, Craigen descendants, or related to the Cregan/Craigen family through marriage. For details of my Cregan/Craigen lineage, see Cregan Family History. These were Eliza Jane 'EJ' Oster nee' Craigen's photos, my grandmother.

The majority of Gramma's relatives, as well as Gramma herself, came from the area known to my mother as 'down East'. Mom grew up in northwestern Ontario, Canada just north of the International US/Canadian border in Minnesota. 'Down East' refers to southeastern Ontario, a distance of about 850 miles and a long ways from Mom's neck of the woods! The 'down East' areas where EJ's family lived are in and around the Townships of Anglesea & Kaladar in Lennox and Addington (L & A) County (two counties merged into one, thus the combined name). Various Cregans/Craigens lived in other unincorporated areas of L & A, such as Erinsville, Flinton, Napanee, Cloyne and Centreville. Many lived and some still reside in Tweed, a town on the border of L & A but in Hastings County.Map by Microsoft Expedia Maps Still others lived in Kingston, which lies on the shores of the Great Lake Ontario and close to L & A's opposite border in Frontenac County. Why the geography lesson, you wonder? Well if you are researching in any of these areas and your surnames match any of the following list, you will definitely want to take a look at these pictures. Although some photographs are identified, many are not. Thankfully, many of the pictures have the photographer's name and location embossed on the frame, which may help to identify them.

Some of the Craigen's related surnames are O'NEILL or O'NEAL, KENNELLY, MULVIHILL, OSTER, HUNT, GUINA, MURPHY, MURRAY, OSTER, ARMSTRONG, PELKINGTON, RATHWELL, FLYNN, KAVANAUGH, RASHOTTE, SCHMIDT, BEACH, BUFFAN, McAVOY, CASSIDY, HOEY, DILLON, WALSH, CALLAGHAN, BERGLUND, McKAY, GUDMUNDSON, POIRIER, KISTNER, and BLOOMFIELD.

If you can identify any of these pictures, odds are we are related! In that case, please contact me. Due to web space restrictions, I've scanned these pictures at a suitable resolution for monitor viewing only. In other words, they will not print well. Should you wish copies of any pictures via snail mail, it can be arranged. Alternatively, if you can receive large files via your Internet Service Provider (ISP), I can scan at higher resolutions. For your information, the average e-mail server storage limit for most ISPs is 2MB. Depending on the original picture, a high res. scan can eat up most or even exceed the average limit. Enough said!
