descendant of Michael creighton (3rd great grandfather)

My name is Crystal Creighton... My family are descendants of Michael creighton, his son Samuel would be my great great grandfather... My father is Jeffrey Charles creighton, son of Clifford Craig creighton and Rowena Eldridge... Clifford Craig is the son of Clifford Charles creighton. We have been desperately looking for family... As it stands right now my son is the last known male bloodline.. My father Jeffrey has a very rare neurological disease that Dr's have been trying to figure out for well over 10 yrs... My father doesn't not know much about his family, Clifford his father passed away when he was just 18 months old

Anyone with any information would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

A few questions: Which of the Creighton ancestors left Ireland and when was he born? Were they Church of Ireland, Presbyterian or Roman Catholic. Most Creightons in the mid-19th century were in Northern Ireland.

Have you considered autosomal DNA? Possibly, you will match someone that has more information on the Creighton line.
