Living in Searsburg, VT and wondering how I could
better use my computer, I found out from my aunt
Hazel O'Brien, that the first permanent settler in
Searsburg, VT was my 3rd great grandfather Joseph
Crosier. So that is where I started (around
1990) putting all this information on family group
sheets and then transferring it all to Family Tree
Maker on the computer. There are hundreds of
Crosier's in the data base. I had a lot of
help along the way from cousins that provided a lot
of names, dates, places etc. There is some source
information but to be truthful when I first started
it was how quick could I fill my computer not really
knowing a lot about documenting where the source of
information came from. But I will still say
there is a high percentage of accuracy in the data.
Use it for information and enjoy. There would
not be enough room to attempt to thank everyone who
submitted information and if I did I would surely
leave someone out so I will only say that a large
portion came from several individuals, Hazel (Shippee)
O'Brien, Theresa (Stevens) Kilanski, Tim Davis
and Iris (Wilcox) Baird, Martha (Crosier) Wood and
a special thanks to Charles Crosier. The
data base presently numbers
43,602 individuals.
My recent discoveries found through contacts because
of my DNA testing include the birth place of my
grand father Jan Poplawski in Czerwonka, Poland,
his father Jozef
Poplawski and wife Ewa Pajak (Pająkowska}, and
Jozef's parents Adam Poplawski and wife Marianna
Chmielewska |
