Crann Families of Newfoundland

JOHN¹ CRANN was born before 1800. He married ELIZABETH. She was also born before 1800.

Note: John & Elizabeth appear to be the first Crann family to arrive and live in NFLD. Flat Islands specifically. We believe that they originated from a town called Netherbury, in the county Dorest, England. Once we receive additional information, we will update the site.
