Good Morning All!

Got my copies of the Vital Records Index of North America and British Isles
yesterday. Have not had a lot of time to look at them yet but will start
today. A quick lookup of Crocker's in the North America version resulted in
the majority of entries being of the "Northern" Crocker's. Here is the
"about" file from the Help:

The Vital Records Index–North America on compact disc (CD) contains
information taken from birth, christening, and marriage records from
selected states and provinces of the United States and Canada. Some names
found in the Vital Records Index may also be found on the International
Genealogical Index (IGI).

This index includes:

1 Records that cover approximately 1620 to 1888.
2 Approximately 5 million people on seven compact discs (six marriage CDs
and one birth/christening CD).
3 The name of the individual, the parent's names when available, the date
and place where the birth, christening, or marriage was registered, and the
name of the individual's spouse.
4 Reference information that allows you to locate the original record on a
microfilm.

This index is not complete. Your ancestor may not appear here even though
you know he or she lived in a time and place covered by the index. The
Vital Records Index for North America will continue to be updated, adding
millions of new names with each release.

The following list provides a summary of the number of counties or places
included within this index where records were extracted from within Canada
and the United States.

I will let y'all know if I find anything that might help us with the
Southern Crocker's. If anyone wants me to make a lookup for you just let me
know. It may take a couple of days for me to get back to you since I have
been working some wierd shifts lately.

Have a great day!

Barry
