I am very sorry to have to report the very sad news that Mike (Spathaky) passed away on the 24th December 2022. Mike was the driving force behind Cree family history research for over 30 years and he was the primary creator of the Cree One-Name Study database (https://cree.one-name.net/home/index.html). I am sure that all of our thoughts are with his wife Marian, family and friends.

Cree Family History

This Ning network has been created to allow all those with an interest in Cree family history to have a focal point where they can exchange their knowledge and ask questions of others with a similar interest in the origins of their own Cree family. It has been created to directly complement and work in parallel with the Cree Surname website (http://www.cree.name) that is maintained by Mike Spathaky, the leading Cree family history researcher. Mike, Trevor and others have been trying for some time to devise a means whereby individuals can communicate directly with each other about their common Cree ancestry and this Ning community provides a way to achieve that objective. Whether you live in Scotland, Ireland, England, the USA, Australia, New Zealand or indeed anywhere else in the world, we hope that you will find this resource of assistance to your research.
