Hi I noticed your contribution re St Louis history on the Fermanagh messageboard. Thought you might be able to assist me in my search for relatives in that city.Recetly I've begun to research the background of my surname --Crudden.I'm aware that some of the famliy emigrated to the US in the 19th century.However I think it may not have been until 1900 or later that some of the Cruddens reached St Louis.I would be interested to know if you have encountered that name in your research in that region and/or are you aware of any descendents currently living there. The name is quite uncommon and it's likely that most of the peoplle with that name are related going back to Fermanagh/Monaghan in the 17th century. Crudden can sometimes be written as Cruden Thanks for your kind attention Edward Crudden [email protected]
