Mike Spathaky

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.

Joining

Thank you for accepting me into your website.
I believe I am related back to Alexander Cree born 28.05.1699 in Methven. I also have links through Ancestry, not sure how accurate they are, back to a Robert Crie born 1618 possibly in Fife.
I shall attempt to post the direct lineage I have to Alexander in the coming days.
Thanks again and keep up the good work on an excellent website :-)

Hi,

I'm new joining the group but have have found the resources on this site a fantastic source of information over many years.

George Cree (1851 - 1932) who lived at Dunmurry in Northern Ireland was my great great grandfather, and Jane Cree was my great great grandmother, so I trace my line from both the Lisburn Crees through George, and the Ballybarnes Crees through Jane's father Andrew Cree.

My great grandmother was Eliza Cree (1870-1955) - the first child of George…
