Find your ancestors in Crossle Genealogical Abstracts

Explore the various notebooks of genealogists Dr Francis Crossle and Philip Crossle to reveal a wealth of Irish genealogical resources.

The Crossle genealogical abstracts were created by Dr Francis Crossle and his son Philip Crossle in the late 19th century. They are a rich genealogical resource for Irish family historians. Notably, they created copies of prerogative court wills from 1620 to 1804, which were destroyed in the fire at the Public Record Office in Dublin in 1922. Crossle also provides a wealth of material for those tracing military ancestors including yearly Army returns from 1767 through to 1816. Furthermore, Crossle is an excellent resource for those tracing their ancestors in Northern Ireland.
