Genealogy Information
I received the following correspondence from Lindy Stuart.
Hello, Sam! I am doing some genealogy research on my Cromartie line and found your website. I haven’t yet gone through everything, but it looks like a lot of work has gone into it. My line originates with Constance Hopkins and goes down through William and Ruhamah Doane. The last Cromartie in my line is Mary E. Cromartie (1855-1926), who married Donald Tynish McNeill. I look forward to diving into your site. I hope to be able to confirm some of the information where I have undocumented sources. Thank you for making your research public. Lindy Stuart
