CRAHAN Family
of Fulton, N.Y.
This information
and the wonderful photograph of the CRAHAN family, was generously
contributed by David P. Crahan.
I am researching my family name (Crahan) and have information that traces
my family back to Ireland in the early 1800s. Seven brothers and sisters
of my Crahan family emigrated to America during the Potato famine of 1845
and 1855 and settled in Fulton, NY.
They were born
in the counties of Sligo, Galway, Kilkenny and Roscommon. Records
have shown that their name was spelled Crehan but was changed after
they came to America. The "E" was changed to an "A," Crahan!
I am sending
a picture of my Great, great grandfather Bryan Crahan and his
family. My best guess is
the photo was taken in the 1890s. I have included the daughters married
surnames.
I have more
pictures and a lot of information and I am willing to share it
with anyone who is interested!
Please feel free to contact me anytime.
