I am the granddaughter of Ivan Earl Crooks. He had 2 sisters Elsie and Lossie Crooks. They were orphaned as young children and were raised by neighbors with farms. But all three remained closely in contact.
Last night I learned the names of my Great Grandparents but that is all I know.
Earl had 3 childred Glenn (currently lives in FL), Jean Crooks Soisson (lived in Hookstown, PA deceased), my father Harold (lived in Raccoon Twp, PA deceased).
Last night I also found 2 Crooks' that served in the Civil War. William and Jamaes served in the 140th Pennsylvania. The article did not state what part of PA they came from.
I am so interested in finding out more no one ever talks of my great grandparents. All I know is the Lizzie was a school marm.
