Jeffry, as we dommunicated a few weeks back, one way to connect, or diconnect, the Crowells (and variations there of) would be DNA testing.
Insead of starting a new DNA data base, the Crowell family could join our Crow(e) male Y-chromesome DNA study (don't worry gals, you can get an uncle, nephew, brother, father to represent you) and would be a most welcomed addition to our growing data base. We have identified 3 different Crow lines so far, the aqua, green, and yellow groups (see the chart at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ecrow2000/dnachart.htm
It seems in my personal Crow studies, many of the younger Crows, after 1900, added the "e" to Crow, but this is in my family, not necesaarly other Crow(e) families. How Crow originally was spelled, hasn't been a top priority on my list of things to do, but perhaps it should be.
DNA Group testing is resonable (starting at $99) for us today, but will not tell you who your ancestor was, just where and when to look for them, in many cases. One may find a match with another living male that has his line documented, or you might find a Crowell to test in another country that matches. If that Crowell family has been in that part of that Country for many generations, then it is highly likely that is where your ancestors lived as well.
This new tool, DNA for genealogy, is just that, another toll, not a replacement for traditional digging through records, but will compilment each other. Crowells, give it some thought, we would love to have you test with us.
