My Name Is Tregeagle

A Memory of Tregeagle.

Hi, my name is Garry Tregeagle. I am not sure what relation I might be to the infamous Jan Tregeagle. I have been called a "bit of a bigger" at times but that would be the worst of it. Anyway that is all I am saying about that. I am 60 years of age this year. Born an still living in Sydney, Australia. Our family tree was traced many years ago and approx 2,000 living descendents were named but it stemed from a family name of Kruchel. Can anyone shed some light on this. Is there any Tregeagles left in Cornwall who aren't locked up or banished, cheers

Hello! My maiden name is Tregeagle and I grew up hearing I was a descendent of Jan Tregeagle. Tonight I was doing some research and I'm now wondering if this isn't accurate since one site I saw said he had no descendants. Regardless, I grew up knowing the legends, and when I visited Cornwall 15 years ago, went to Bodmin Moor and Dozmary Pond. My family of Tregeagles has been in Utah, in the United States, for many generations. Interestingly, while we were in Cornwall we asked a few people if they had heard of "Tregeagle" and they hadn't.
