My Crotty ancestry is connected to Captain Michael J. Brennan who sailed on the expedition to the North Pole in 1926. My grandmother's mother was Ellen (or Hellen?) Crotty of County Clare, Ireland, and my grandmother was Norah Crotty, one of her daughters. I have a lot of my North ancestry filled in which I believe dates back to Edward Doty and Faith Clarke/Phillips from the Mayflower and I have lineage from there.
