    I have CREW (no S) in my family. Wondering if this is the correct place for me? Crews, Winn Parish, LA is said to be named after my relatives that settled there.

    Welcome to our new Crews group. I hope everyone will join in and tell us about the lines they are researching. Does anyone have a good picture that I could use as the group's logo? A nice family photo perhaps or a picture of a place associated with a particular Crews line?

    I've now added a picture of Plymouth in Devon as the group photo. As part of my one-name study I've researched a Crews line from Plymouth which goes back to John Crews (born 1806 in Buckland Monachorum, Devon) and Rosetta Wilmott who married in 1850 in Devon. There were several generations of Crews men in this family who served in the Royal Navy.

    I found this link some time ago. I have not contacted the website owner and make no claim as to accuracy of the research. (In fact, if varies somewhat from the link you have posted here on the group page on the Crew family of Charles City County, VA.) I found it most interesting though and thought I'd share.
    Descendants of Johannes Crew de Nantwiche

    Regina, A lot of the information about the supposed link with Nantwich in Cheshire is speculation and unproven. Paulette's Charles City County tree is the most accurate. We're hoping that we might eventually find a Crewe from the Cheshire line to take part in the DNA project to see if they do match anyone.

    Debbie, I understand. I just thought it was an interesting website, so I posted it.

    Using Paulette's Charles City County tree, I believe I was finally able to see where my line fits. I am probably a descendant of James Crew who married Ann Crew. (Number 11131 in Paulette's tree.) His son, Elisha would be my 4th great grandfather. (Paulette did not follow any of James' children so there are no further clues down the line.) I have traced my line back in time to Rev. Charles J. Crew, who died in LA. I am fairly certain that Elisha was Charles' father.

    Wish I had the $200 plus to have my uncle's and mother's DNA tested!
