Ballacreer - The Internet Home for Creer Family History Researchers

About Ballacreer

There are some 600 places on the IOM with 'Balla's as part of their name. Balla is the most common prefix for a place name and derives from Balley (Irish Baile, currently Balley-) 'a homestead'.  See Frances Coakley's excellent website "A Manx Notebook" for a list of Balla- place names in the IOM and their location.

There does not appear to be a Ballacreer anywhere, and so this name has been adopted for this website to provide an electronic venue for Creers around the world to meet together, to investigate and celebrate their Manx heritage and common roots.

It is envisaged that Ballacreer will be used as an electronic clearing-house/network for Creers to:-
