The two oldest sons, James and William, I can track to the Croziers. The third and youngest, Robert, I can’t track yet. I’ve only gone 2 generations past William the father (trying not to go back too far until it seems right).
The middle daughter is Isabelle. The oldest daughter, Jane, and the youngest, Nancy, are ones I should use to find the right family for William’s wife, as well as Robert, is what you’re saying then?
It is somewhat harder to trace back in a different country. Knowing customs is helpful.
I did learn my lesson about confirming on this side of the pond though. My mother’s lines go back to the mid 1600’s, colonial times. There can be so many Johns, Williams and Thomases that I’ve climbed the wrong branches a few times and had to backtrack. Sometimes it has helped to find “odd” family names that repeat. It helped that I live in Virginia and the migrations here made sense. I also have many DNA matches, with common ancestors in the 1600’s, where I can track back to current times along parallel lines. There were several written histories that others had done that provided clarification as well.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly and for your advice.
