In USA Helen Crownover at her computer in 1985 Preface One reason for writing a family history is to tell present and future generations about their ancestors. At some time in life most of us become interested in our background. I felt the need to organize these facts so that they can be used and enjoyed by all Crownovers and related families.
All genealogists admit their work contains mistakes.
It is impossible to write a perfect family history. We all hope that anyone who finds mistakes will write to us about our mistakes with proof of the correction. Some wrong information was put into family Bibles, the census takers made many mistakes, printers make mistakes, and even the writer makes mistakes. I hope my book will encourage someone to continue the family history and improve it. I wish I could thank everyone who helped, but the list would be longer than the book.
