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. The file is now up to around 5,200 individuals. 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
more recently Charles Crosier. Thanks to all who contributed.
