Michael McShane: A founder member of the Creggan Local History Society and present editor of `Creggan'. Author of Tombstone Inscriptions of Creggan Parish-St. Patrick's Cemetery Cullyhanna, Co. Armagh. Made contributions to previous issues of `Creggan'. As 2015 is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of our beloved Cardinal Tomas O Fiaich it is fitting we remember him with this article, From Anamar to Lourdes. The condition of the Register of Crossmaglen (Male) National School 1864-1902 is poor and, as editor I take this opportunity to publish its contents so that it will be preserved for the future. Likewise having rescued The Thomas Prideaux Ball 1840 Rental from oblivion some years ago, will be published in stages. Thomas Ball owned thirteen townlands in the parish of Creggan. The first four are published in this issue.
