10 ancestry trees to investigate to see who might be a near UK relative.  Some look to be investigating DNA links so may not be near enough positive connections for CWGC purposes.
One link was a Crosby who was active today so that might be positive ?  Fingers crossed.

One decline, not a near relative.  Quite a lot of trees, quoting DNA so not sure they are near relatives.  Tried a couple more.    One read so far.
