Have you studied the line of Mary Anne Cruys/Cruce/Cruice of Rathmore, daughter of Sir Christopher Cruce, held lands in Cruicetown and Cruice-Rath, Moydorragh, and the county of Meath. Very interestingly oral folklore and burial sites. My brother David and I would love to participate in your one name study. We are Kentucky Cruce Family.email me:
kcrucesmith@yahoo.com Thank you!
Hi Karen, I've sent you an e-mail. You can read about Sir Christopher Cruys, Lord of Rathmore, in an article in the Dublin University Magazine of 1854, starting on page 321. You can find the article here:

I have found via ancestry.com that Christopher Cruce / Cruys is my 18th great grandfather and also awaiting my dna results. I would love to learn more.

Hi Sandy, You can read the article about Christopher Cruys from the link above. I would be very wary of a genealogy posted on Ancestry purporting to trace back to Sir Christopher Cruys. There are a lot of very dodgy pedigrees out there. Which DNA test have you taken and which DNA company have you tested with?
Best wishes
Debbie
