Hi Mary,
Yes, I am a descendant of Edna and Reggie Crout.Their daughter Marceline was my maternal grandmother.
In Detroit, Ferdinand and Cora raised her and her older brother Kenneth from early childhood to the age of sixteen.She told me his family owned a coal company in DC and they were from Georgetown, but not much else.We have pictures of Fannie, Emma and Ferdinand.We have quite a few pictures of F&C when they were older, but a few from when he was young.Ferdinand, Cora, Edna, her husband Carl, my grandma and three of her children are buried in Novi, Michigan.In the spring after the thaw, I may go there and take snapshots of the markers.
Needless to say, I would be very happy to learn the family history.I could furnish the "newer" information for you.
