Hello, I am new to this List so will keep it short till I see what you are about. Family history is my hobby especially since retirement. My CRAWFORDs are from between Kilmarnock and Irvine. My gg-grandfather, ROBERT b 1796 m JANET DICKIE 1820. They came to USA in 1831 with six children and the seventh born just after they arrived here in June. They settled in Michigan and were very successful farmers. My grandfather was first in my Crawford line to be born in USA. Since he married a SPENCER I think that made him half Scottish and half English. My CRAWFORD ggg-grandparents were JOHN CRAWFORD b abt 1760 and HELEN BONE married 22 July 1796 at Kilwinning Parish. As far as I know they did not come to USA. Recently I sent DNA sample and received report from lab in Texas and did not match twenty-some other CRAUFURDs in their files. I would like to find a match in Scotland, or at least a match with one of the many CRAWFORD or CRAUFURD branches coming from where the name originated in Lanarkshire. I live in North Canton, Ohio, retired seventeen years. Guess I would like to know what the Lists objectives are? Regards to all, Roy

I am also new to this list. My YDNA matched with the Scots to a very large degree and I'm still learning how to use all of this new information. My lineage on my mother's side is Murdick (Murdock?), McAtee, McCulloch and Rowe. The Rowe family is from SW United Kingdom, as in Corwall and Devon. The Murdicks, McAtees and McCulloch are Scots. Some may have come from the Plantations in Northern Ireland, but they remained Scot. I do not see any Crawfords or Spencers in my line. If anything crops up I'll get back in touch with you. By the way I'm part of the Roberts Surname Project of familytreedna.
