''' | "The '''[https://www.familysearch.org/search/family-trees/results#count=20&query=+subcollection_id:MMD6-BMK County Down: Newry Area]''' community tree is a collection of extracts from newspapers, diaries, and other local resources for the city of Newry and the surrounding area compiled by Francis Crossle and then organized by his son, genealogist Philip Crossle. These entries cover roughly the period of 1600–1919. This data was extracted from 25 rolls of microfilm at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. This community tree is an index to these films; therefore, the database includes about 30,000 single entries that would normally have been left out because they are not lineage-linked to anyone else. No additions or corrections are accepted for this community tree. If you see information that you believe is incorrect or incomplete, the information can be corrected or updated in Family Tree. | ||

Normally we only include the lineage linked family data on the Community Trees Website, but the data from the Crossle Collection contained just over 33,000 entries that had no family data connected to them. To make these records more accessible and the “index” to the Crossle Collection more complete, we have included these unlinked entries in the Community Tree for the Newry area. These records were added to the lineage linked collection after all of the merging was done. The lineage linked collection contained data on about 41,000 individuals and 15,000 marriages. After we added the unlinked records the collection now has reference to about 74,000 people that are listed in the Crossle Collection. Use the link below to get to this Community Tree. You can scroll down through the name list and then click on an individual to see his record, or you can use the search button at the top of the screen to search for specific individuals or couples that you hope are listed within this collection. Using the Search from the Home page will allow you to search across all of the Community Trees that are currently published by FamilySearch. | Normally we only include the lineage linked family data on the Community Trees Website, but the data from the Crossle Collection contained just over 33,000 entries that had no family data connected to them.
