If you wish to add your own Cregan or variants oldest known ancestors to this database, just drop me a quick note. Please note the field labels in this database to determine what types of information to submit. If you can't fill in all the fields, don't worry; Hopefully, you will be able to soon! Barring any unforeseen complications, you may expect your entry to appear in the database within a few days. Don't forget to hit 'refresh' on your browser when you return. For those of you who have not yet posted your Cregan and 'sounds like' queries, please remember that other handy-dandy genealogy tool, the Cregan, Craigen, Cragen, Craghan Queries Board hosted by GenConnect at RootsWeb and administered by yours truly. It only takes a few moments and could provide the clue that leads to your missing link! Finally, I urge you to take advantage of yet another free Cregan genealogical resource, the Cryan surname mailing list sponsored by RootsWeb. Although Cregan is represented on this list, see the UPDATE below. The Cryan list owner is one of the most active, dedicated & friendly list administrators I've encountered and the rest of the folks are pretty darn helpful & nice too. To read more about this list or the simple procedures to subscribe, visit RootsWeb and follow the path to the 'C' surname lists. UPDATE October 1999. I am now hosting a Cregan Mail List through Rootsweb. While the Cryan list mentioned above does cover Cregan, the majority of it's members are researching Cryan, Crean, Crehan, etc. My list is not meant to compete with the Cryan list; it simply has a narrower focus. Thus, if you are researching Cryan, Crean, Creen, Crehan, etc., your best bet is the Cryan list. If you are researching any of the Cregan 'sounds like' variations such as, Cragen, Cragan, Cragon, Cragun, Cragin, Craigan, Craigen, Craigin, Craigon, Craggen, Craggin, Creighen, Creigan, Creighan, Creighen, Cregen, Cregon, Cregin, Cregun, Creagan, Creagen, Creagin, Creagon, Creegan, Cregeen, Creghan, Creghen, Creghan, Crogan, Croggan, Crogen, Croggin, Croghan, etc., please join my new Cregan list. Hey, join both! Both mail lists are accessible at https://sites.rootsweb.com/~maillist/surnames/index.html
