An accomplished genealogist leaves few stones unturned and this is why Gordon Crouse’s research collection is unparalleled. A professional genealogist whose research pre-dated the internet, Crouse was relentless in his quest to flesh out the details of not just the Crouse line, but those of the Bradshaws, Fairbairns, Ackermans, McTaggarts, Grieves, Hicks and many others.

What we found most interesting in this collection are his notes, correspondence and photos, and, while not quite as organized as his ‘completed’ works, are extremely interesting in their own right. As he was quoted as saying in an interview with the Whig-Standard in 1982, “Today we see so much change and artificiality. People want to get hold of something real.” Gordon Crouse’s research papers could not be more a more real look into the mind and process of a dedicated family researcher.
