My thanks for the tip on Gustav Anjou. I will be all over this lead. The 1927 research was after the fire and commissioned by a wealthy relative. He then hired a genealogist to add the American families to it. It all seems very clear cut and "pat". Too pat for me from that time. Errors of fact are also found. eg. One son and his wife went to Australia to live in 1708! 50 years before anyone else settled there. It must have been lonely:) Birthdates were given for the boys and not the girls. If the info was collected from church records, why not both? One son "joined the English Army". How did they find that out? The name change from Antoine du Crozat to Crossett in two generations also is puzzling. There were three Antoine du Crozats we know of in that generation. Two of them lived in the British Isles, one in Dublin. The other was governor of Louisiana. They were all very wealthy. Reseach is positive in showing that none of them was in Carrickfergus on a small farm at that time. Inventing genealogy out of whole cloth is nothing new, but rooting it out is very important. Every Crossett researcher I know considers the Irish stuff as gospel. I'm a sceptic. Thanks for the feedback! Tom
