This website is created to present the history of the
Dutch Creyghton (also Creijghton/Kreyghton/Kreijghton) family (further referred to as Creyghton) and
the related Morel(l) family. Next to genealogical
lists of descendants and ancestors you will find stories
about the history of the Creyghton family, the family coat
of arms etc. With special emphasis on the place of the Dutch Creyghton family
(branch) in relation to the old, originally Scottish but
now worldwide
Creighton/Crichton family, also known under different spellings of the
surname like Crighton, Craton, Crayton, Crightoun, Krichton, Kregton
and many other variations.
In the ancestors chart of the
Creyghton-Morel children both families come together.

The Creyghton/Creijghton family history
The Creyghton History on this website is the work of a small
working group, consisting of:
Ingrid Creyghton, Maria & Pieter Creyghton-Lemmens,
Joep Creyghton en Jos Grupping.
For information we could also draw on the earlier work of
our ancestors, notably Jan Creyghton, Jacques Creyghton, Nico
Creyghton and Jan van Campen. We had the help of a number of
our contemporary family members too, of which we like to
name a few: Duc Creyghton, Hans Creyghton, Hans
Creijghton, Joan Creyghton-Alling, Lex Creyghton, Luc
Creijghton, Maurits Creyghton, Mirko Creyghton, Paul
Creyghton en Wim Creyghton. Our apologies if
inadvertedly we left someone out.
As a first contribution you will
find the history of the Dutch Creyghton branch(es). For more
specific information about family members in the past we
included descendants lists of Johannes Creyghton, Jacobus Creyghton and Joseph Morel. See the links below. On special request by many
family members the two youngest generations have been included. Indexes
are provided for easier look-up of a person.
The Morel(l) family history
Also included is the list of descendants of Joseph Morel. The latter is
added because both families are closely related in more than
one way. An example of an ancestors
chart in both the Creyghton and Morel line can be found in the Ancestors List
of the children Creyghton-Morel. Unfortunately all lists are still
in Dutch, but it shouldn't be too difficult to understand
them, as the structure is more or less universal.
A short list of terms:
-
geboren te
= born at
-
gedoopt te
= baptised at
-
ondertrouw
te = notice of marriage at
-
trouwt te
= marries at, getrouwd = married
-
overleden
te = deceased at
-
begraven
te = burried at
-
aldaar =
at the same place
-
uit de
eerste (tweede) relatie = from the first (second) relation
-
dochter
van = daughter of
-
zoon van =
son of
The genealogy of the Morel family is largely the
work of Jos Grupping, married to Marga Morel. With very valuable additions
by mrs
Cis Waters-Morel (Arnhem), Jos Hekking
(Nijmegen) and Harry
Wouters (Wateringen) and many other family members. Recently the Morel
Genealogy was expanded again by a contribution by Peter Groen: a complete
lparenteel of his grandgrandgrandmother
Anna Maria Morell (1806-1857). The data are already included in the current
list of descendants of Joseph Morel(l). For all these contributions our
sincere thanks.

Creyghton-Morel Homepage
is also part of the Grupping Stamboom
Pagina's.
