We are thankful that we have CrosbyClan website so we can at least have your photos and that way we can see more of you all and thus keep better connected. We are hoping you will also add news – like Craig & Vickie will be putting up an announcement of their newest granddaughter born to C J and Angela.  We are thankful that our family can use Crosbyclan to learn more about our ancestors. Please click on Lorenzo & Mollie to access an album about Lorenzo’s mother’s parents, Lorenzo and Frances Crosby Brown. Lorenzo Brown was an exceptional journal keeper and his journal writings have been down loaded into his CrosbyClan album. Among other things – now you can read where he gives an account of – the Prophet Joseph Smith being in his parents home (pg.1) Lorenzo and Frances being married by Joseph Smith (pg.3) Being at a conference with the prophet (pg. 173) It’s good to know that our ancestor knew the prophet and wrote in his journal about him. See for yourself – pg. 201, 212, 222, 224, 225, 230, 232, 235, 241, 258.  We wish you all good health and much happiness in the new year !!  A big thank you to Linda and Bob for getting the contact list put together for all the Crosby clan. Note: Continue to get any phone, address, or email address changes to Linda & Bob via updates on our homepage. Roy, Jim & Sylvia surprised Linda by going to Texas for her birthday, March 22nd.  Actually, it was both a birthday celebration with Linda and a family history event/ brothers & sisters reunion because, although we keep in touch, it is rare for us all to be together and it has never happened in Texas before.  We had a good “mini reunion time” with Linda & Bob & Kyle plus Brian & Marla and 3 of their 4 children and Jason & Tiesha & their 6 children. Kevin lives in the area but we missed getting to see him.

Texas has a part in our family history. On the 5 hour flight Roy & I had to Dallas, I was reading from the journal writings of mother/’s grandmother, Catherine Ellen Camp Greer. She wrote of being married in Salt Lake in November 1855 and her husband being called that winter to go on a mission in the spring so we started June 13, 1856 for his mission field in Texas …We got into Texas on the first day of October. She describes driving horses and cattle and encountering buffalo and Indians on the three and a half month long horseback trip.  One hundred years later, James Greer Crosby (Jim) served a mission in Texas .  More recently Roy & Marjorie Crosby served a mission in Texas as well as CJ Crosby ( Craig & Vickie/’s son.)

Dolly’s birthday in Dec. 2008 was a special occasion with her four children present! Georganna & family came from Texas and Matt’s family came from Arizona to join with Craig’s family and Catherine’s family in Utah for the celebration.

Most Recent Marriages Curt and Korlene Crosby had two children married recently:  Trevor Crosby and Katelyn Rodeback were married 13 Feb 2009 and made their home in Heber, Utah.  Maria Crosby and Marcus Pace were married 14 March 2009 and made their home in Provo, Utah.  Kris Dutton’s daughter, Brittni, and Mike Zelm were married 18 April 2009 and make their home in Placentia California.
