Our Genealogy Helper

Introduction ...

So far, we found very little information about Crooks Hollow. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Crooks Hollow to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Crooks Hollow, please Contact Us.

We have a couple of goals for our Gazetteer:

• That it be a tool which helps us with planning our trips.
• We're trying to shape our Gazetteer as a tool to help us understand the community in which our ancestors lived, the community that was part of their daily lives.
• On our trips, we try to visit those places where our ancestors left their footprints.

By learning about Crooks Hollow (and the surrounding area) during the time that our ancestors lived, we hope to have a better understanding of both their community and its relationship to their lifes. We hope that this tool helps to give us an insight into their world.

As we add data and organize our Gazetteer to help with our family research, we will be adding to this our Genealogical Helper for Crooks Hollow. While we don't have information that is specific to any given person or family, we intend to expand our understanding about where and how people lived.

Name Variations for Crooks Hollow ...

When searching records, keep in mind that names and their spelling can change over time. Our sources include documents like maps, railroad schedules, Travel, Express and Shipping Guides. Many of these documents date from the 1800's and it's common to find spelling differences.

Although we can't give a definitive list, hopefully the following will give you a feel for the variations that might have occurred.

• A typical abbreviation for Crooks Hollow: Crooks Holw. (or less commonly used: Crooks Hlw. or Crooks Hllw.)

• While the name of this community is Crooks Hollow, be aware that it's the common practice of mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names<2>. So Crooks Hollow may originally have been Crook's Hollow.
  
  Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Crooks Hollow might be written as Crook Hollow.

If you have information about these names (such as the reason for the change, date of change, the origin of the name), please Contact Us.
