Hi Jean, I am a Crozier descendent, not living in Ireland though. My Crozier ancestor left Fermanagh in 1878 to settle in Australia. I have come across at least 3 distinct groups of Croziers in the Tyrone/Fermanagh region during my research. My lot lived mostly around Ederney, another family was from Ballinmallard (I think this is Viola's family) and a 3rd from over in the Kilskeery area of Tyrone. I believe your brother is a match to my 1st cousin in FTDNA. Happy to chat about that in direct message.Also I may be able to put you in touch with a Irish Crozier cousin of mine who has contacted me, no promises. He incidentally is descended from both my lot and a Richard Crozier of Mageralough, Kilskeery, Tyrone. No idea if he is into DNA genealogy though.

I do know, through my brother's Y-chromosome DNA testing, that we are descendants of the CROZIERs who were Border Reivers, so likely were planted in Ulster in the 16th / 17 th century. My g-g-grandfather Richard Crozier was (according to his gravestone) born in Tyrone, but I'm beginning to question that, and wonder if his birthplace might have been Fermanagh. Have you (we) in the Fermanagh-Gold group been maintaining a DNA matching group? Also, I'm going to be in Fermanagh after the Ulster Historical Foundation's conference and tour in September, and I'd be so very happy to connect with some Croziers -- even just to share a cup of coffee over a review of our own genealogical travels.
