I was told the name was originally Crowfoot and the W was eventually dropped. All of my evidence regarding an Indian origin is anecdotal. All of the Crofoot men looked Indian. Also - a dentist once told me that I had a ridge behind my teeth that he had only seen on American Indians. However, everyone I have talked to online has told me the Crofoot name is English and specifically of Welsh origin. I spoke with a history professor a few years ago whose name was Crofoot and she said she was positive it had no Native American roots. I would love to get to the bottom of this...can anyone shed any light on this? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

First of all, I have no Crofoot connections...that's my husband's side. What I've found this name was spelled Crofut & then Americanized. Just a thought.......maybe someone married into the Crofoot family & started these traits?? That's what I'm beginning to think about my line. ... Dad's side is German & English ( the names). And they have traits of Native Americans.
