I am also searching for Ontario CRAWFORDs. My interest is in Almon Crawford (b.
1836 in Canada) and his wife Sarah McKinstry (b March 1841 in Canada-West). They
were married in March 1866 and emigrated to Michigan shortly after that. Death
certificate for Almon sez his parents were Michael Crawford and Sarah Cutcher.
Any connection?
