NOTE: Please remember while "Elder John Crandall of Rhode Island and his Descendants" is a great starting place for Crandall researchers, there are many errors contained within this work. These errors are, but not limited to spelling, typo, ommisions and lineage errors.
Please remember to varify all information with other sources.

Some of the generations are large and have been broken down into several parts to improve load time for those who use dail-up internet access.

This work on this site is compiled from those earlier works as well as additional research using sources such as biographies, burial records, census records, newspapers and other archival material. This work is by no means a complete record of descendants or ancestors. The site tries to include as many references as available for those individuals contained within this work, with attention source material such as burial, census records, biographies and newspapers obits. Work continues on adding referenece material as time permits. Information and documentation Elder John has been omitted as I have no new research on his ancestral roots and it is not the purpose of this site to duplicate or take credit for the exceptional work of JCC or C.F.A. research on him. I would like to make a personal note of Earl P. CRANDALL, CFA #1 for all the hard work and time that he put into the Crandall Family Genealogy. Please see C.F.A. works for information on him.
