Acknowledgements
and Sources
All
items on the Family Group Sheets have documented sources. Many people have
contributed to the development of the Crouse family tree and we want to
acknowledge their contribution. It is not feasible to list the dozens and dozens
of contributors and sources here, but they are acknowledged in the book Crouse
Family History, 2nd Edition
.
Extensive research has been conducted at the
Provincial Archives of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick, by several
dedicated and skilled Family Historians. Along with the many hours spent in
archives and libraries, much effort was dedicated to documenting personal
interviews, copying family records, etc., so that a family portrait of these
pioneers, in a time long ago, can be made available for others to enjoy. Thanks
to Family Historians, who go beyond being just genealogists who collect
names, births and deaths, the book Crouse
Family History, 2nd Edition
attempts to
bring alive a glimpse of our past.
If you use information on these Family Group Sheets please
honor the many contributors by acknowledging the source as Crouse
Family History, 2nd Edition Thank you. The
birth, marriage and death places are listed as they were known at
the time the particular event occurred. For example: Charles
“Charley” Fitz Abner4 CROUSE
was born 9 May 1868 in East Washburn (Crouseville), Aroostook Co., Maine. At
the time Charley was born, Crouseville was known as East Washburn. The current
name is in parentheses. Counties
and parishes are also listed according to what they were called at the time the
birth, marriage, or death occurred. A typical example of how parish names
evolved can be seen with the location of Philip Crouse’s New Brunswick British Crown
Land Grant. Philip obtained his 400 acre land grant in the Parish of Queensbury.
In 1824 the Parish of Douglas was carved out of the Parish of Queensbury. The
same area is now the Parish of Bright, which was carved out of the Parish of
Douglas in 1869. If you find any error or
