My line moved into Illinois...that is where my great-great and great father fathers were with their families...I grew up in Illinois and went to school and college there...now I am living in New Mexico...I didn't find out until late in life that I am a Crossland...my father's father was Herschel James Crossland who was killed in Saipan when my father was a little boy...my grandmother remarried and her adopted my dad and sisters changing their names...I grew up thinking I was a Sell...not a Crossland...I have been debating lately whether or not to legally change my name to Joplin James Crossland...I feel such a connection to this family line...can't explain it...
much peace,
Joplin
