These entries cover roughly the period of 1600–1919. This data was extracted from 25 rolls of microfilm at the FamilySearch 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. | ||

Francis Crossle, M.D., extracted information from decaying newspapers dating back as far as 1600 into his scrapbooks. They were in no particular order and had no index. His son, Phillip Crossle, was a professional genealogist and took his father’s notebooks and transferred the information by page number (reference # p444, for instance) into booklets which listed a surname on the cover. These are the records that were microfilmed. Unfortunately, he left no index or cross reference to explain why certain names were in the booklets. For instance the ANDREWS book, first book of the microfilms, has many REEDs, DOWDALLs, and GLENNYs listed as well and we don’t know the connection between them, although Phillip obviously did to include them in the Andrews booklet. While mislabeled “History of Newry Families” this collection is not just about families in Newry, County Down, Ireland but the entire surrounding area, and many times all of Ireland. Sometimes it also includes genealogies of families in England or Scotland. More of Phillip’s work is also microfilmed (although unindexed) in the | Francis Crossle, M.D., extracted information from decaying newspapers dating back as far as 1600 into his scrapbooks.

More of Phillip’s work is also microfilmed (although unindexed) in the FamilySearch Library, and more are available in Ireland that have not been microfilmed. The originals of all these Crossle booklets are now in the Irish Studies Library in Armagh City, County Armagh, N. Ireland – seen by the indexer in a trip to Ireland in 2004. | ||
