Hello there

I am relatively new to this and it is wonderful to see how many Crees there are in the world. I thought we had such a small family but in actual fact , it is huge1 My Great great grandfather was Edward Hodges Cree, Great Grandfather Herbert Eustace Cree and my Grandfather  John Cree and my great aunts Nancy and Doris Cree. My family often stayed with  Hilary ( Gerald Hillary Cree) and his wife Joan)in Devon  when I was little.  When I was older, I have memories of rescuing…

Good evening

Many thanks for accepting me to this group, which I came across whilst researching our Cree ancestors and came across the booklet (PDF) Cree families of Fife and Devon, which the first edition was written by our Great Uncle Hill Gerald Hillary Cree).

From the booklet Our line starts with William Cree of Kettlehill, Fife and his 3rd son John.                 …

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.

Clearly many of us have individually made significant contributions to Cree family history over the last decades but none more so than Mike Spathaky. The Cree One-Name Study (http://www.cree.name) that he created is a monumental achievement and thousands of those around the world with a Cree ancestry will have consulted it at one time or another. It is difficult to comprehend how many months or perhaps years have gone into…
