A nice outline of your ancestors. There is only one problem. Never ever
had there been any Crostisseu in the province of Westprussia, the Kingdom
Prussia, or in any other German state.

You can check yourself at the online gazetteer
http://www.literad.de/geschichte/ortsbuchca.html

Even when looking under K, there is no candidate that could be
explained as as misreading.

So: Where does that one reference come from?

You should check the source, and compare the range of possible
readings with the online gazetteer, for which the front page URL is
