Antrim / Re: 17th century records

I saw those records, Jim. They are there from the source I have questions about. Everyone uses it but there are no sources. I have been looking for years.

Antrim / 17th century records
« on: Thursday 01 December 11 16:45 GMT (UK)  »
A study published about my family (Crossett) in 1937 claims data from Antrim but shows no sources. Can data be found from this period that would prove farm ownership, Presbyterian marriage and births, and family data? I am doubting it but I want to ask those who know better than me. :-\

Those are most helpful data, Anne. The name has a number of different spellings over the years and is alleged to have started with du Crozat in France, so Crosat and Croset are close. Thanks.

Scotland / Crossett in Scotland

Hello,
The thinnest of threads leads me to believe Crossetts were in Scotland in the 17th century. Can anyone confirm that or sever the thread, please?

Perthshire / Lyon of Glen Lyon

Hello,
My Lyon family emigrated to America in @1645. What resources, if any, from that time period could I access to seek origins? Do ship passenger lists exist for this time? He was Henry Lyon who came with his brother Thomas.

Antrim / Crossetts in Lisburn and Carrickfergus
« on: Wednesday 29 June 05 14:27 BST (UK)  »
Hello, all,
I am new to this site and welcome the chance to chat with you all. My folks emigrated from Antrim in 1716 to Boston and settled in a place they named the "Lisburn Proprietary." Everyone there had to be a Presbyterian of the Scottish variety and of "good conversation." Apparently the name Crossett was originally duCrozat, a french Huguenot immigrant. I have no proof of this however, and I'm looking for guidance in how to pursue the origin of my people over there. Please share your wisdom with me. The wife and I visited Ireland 2 years ago but had no chance to do research. We were too busy falling in love with our ancestors homeland. She's an O'Connor. Thanks.
