Looking for Crossman from Camada
My uncle was Gerald Earl Crossman b. 31 Mar 1912 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, d. 16 Aug 1997, Phoenix, Arizona.
My cousin told me
Gerald's father was Orner Crossman and gave me some of his siblings names. I found a family in Sackville, Westmorland, New Brunswick, that had alot of matches but no Orner or anything even close.
The only thing I've heard that has
any info on an Orner Crossman was a 1920 Rhode
Island/Connecticut Census I've checked on that with ancestry.com
with no luck.
Orner's first wife,
and Gerald's mother, was Luella Armina Sharpe. They divorced and Orner married Sadie Thompson.

I am trying to connect the New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI Crossmans together. I am related to the Parrsboro, Nova Scotia Crossmans but I am not sure how yet. Amherst is not far from Parrsboro, NS
I was born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1952 to Douglas Harry Crossman and Anita Georgie Lord Crossman from Cape Traverse, PEI. My dad's parents were Harry Crossman and Robins Ruth Curtis Crossman. My great grandparents were John and Pheobe (Pheby Large) Crossman. I am the youngest of four siblings: Donald, Barbara and Douglas. I live in Ohio now but want to find more Crossman's.
Unfortunately I cannot help, but I do have a question for you. Do you know where I can find information on Sadie Thompson? She was my paternal grandmother, and I only just found out about her today.
