Just before the year two thousand, I began to research my CRENSHAW roots in earnest. I found many, many references to southern CRENSHAWs, but none to my Illinois CRENSHAWs. We Illinois CRENSHAWs have become isolated and are a detached branch. Thus, I wish to begin a Clearinghouse for not only us minority CRENSHAW researchers whose roots are in the south, who first migrated into Missouri and then southern Illinois, but all branches of CRENSHAW researchers. We want this clearninghouse to connect with all branches of CRENSHAW researchers.

   After a series of queries in various places I met another researcher of William C Crenshaw and Elizabeth Hart. Now Mary Jo Moore and I collaberate to fill out the descendants of our common ancestors.

   Come and join us, utilizing this site, to accurately combine our knowledge for our common benefit. Both Southern and Northern Branches.
