We give a relation between the homology groups H1() and H1 (M) for a branched cyclic cover → M of arbitrary closed, oriented 3-manifolds which generalizes a classical result of Plans on covers of S3 branched over a knot and provides other quantitative information as well. We include a general "free calculus" procedure for computing homology groups of branched covers and reinterpret the results in this computational setting.
