I would love help with genealogy of this family...I was just on a message board...lots went to MA USA...Many people from Dingle area ended up in Chicopee MA but Creans seemed to like Holyoke..not sure how far apart they are.

The problem with this name, and I realize people who are Polish etc. have it much worse..is that it can be spelled many ways.>Crean, Creen, Crehan, and it goes into Crogin and McCrogin and Green and Cryan and probably dozens of variations...so we know they were in the BLasket Islands and we know Castlegregory ahd a number and Anascul had at least Tom...and some were in the DIngle area as well, which I found interesting researching other relatives, but I never thought she was from there. But this is interesting..her daughters looked Spanish..and she maybe did a bit..hard to tell...but I think that is where the Black Irish part of the family came from.

All I know is that my ggm, whom we thought came from Clonmel, actually came from County Kerry because I found a death notice and it said that she traveled with relatives..the story we always had was she as an orphan or essentially one because they got her on the ship and she never heard from her family again. Her name was Eliza..possibly an adopted name though. She ended up in Iowa. Years later, a Batt or Bartholomew Crean or Crehan shows up..I wonder if it was a brother perhaps...

Well, if anyone can figure out anything please to let me know. mg
