Crowley-Cohn Family History

Preserving Our Family Stories

Welcome to the Crowley-Cohn Family History site.

This site brings together family trees, records, photographs, and stories connected to the Crowley and Cohn families. Some branches are well documented. Others are still being pieced together from census records, documents, photographs, and family clues.

The goal is to preserve this research, make it easier to explore, and help current and future generations feel more connected to the people and places that came before them.

Information about living people is limited for privacy. Visitors are invited to explore the family tree and to share corrections, stories, photographs, documents, or memories that may help add to the larger family story.


Where the Research Begins

This site is just getting started. The first focus will be the Crowley side of the family, including lines that were lost for many years and are now being pieced back together through records, clues, and continued research.

As the site grows, the Cohn side will be expanded and updated as well, with the same goal: to preserve family research, photographs, records, and stories in one place where they can be explored and shared.

Finding the Stories Behind the Names

Clarence Austin - Chula Vista's first postman

Genealogy is often built from small pieces: a name in a census, a date on a certificate, a place listed in a city directory, a photograph with no names written on the back. Each clue helps us understand a little more about the people who came before us.

For this site, the work is about more than building a family tree. It is about preserving stories, reconnecting family lines, and making the research available to current and future generations.

Some branches are already rich with history. The Austin line reaches back to Richard Austin, who came to America with his family in 1638. The Fankhanel line has German roots, with an ancestor who came to the United States in the 1800s and worked as a mason. Other branches are still unfolding, one document and one discovery at a time.

If you recognize a name, have a correction, or can share a photograph, document, or memory, please get in touch. Family history is strongest when it is shared.

Family Lines I’m Exploring

Merle and Phylis Fankhanel

The first phase of this site will focus on the Crowley side of the family, including connected lines such as Austin and Fankhanel. Some of these lines reach deep into early American history. Others connect to immigrant stories, changing names, changing places, and branches of the family that were lost or forgotten over time.

As the research grows, this section of the site will expand to include more stories, records, photographs, and context for each family line. The Cohn side will also be updated over time as additional research is gathered and organized.

Family history is rarely finished. Each record answers one question and often raises another. This site is intended to make that ongoing work visible and easier to share.

They were doing it for us

This is the caption for your image

It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth, without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do.

With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those who we had never known before.

It can be linked to a different page and the title of the button is 'MORE'. You can choose what you want to link or have no links at all. Charlotte and her brother Sean immigrated from Ireland with their parents in the mid 1890's. Both of their parents died on the voyage so they lived with their mother's sister. Charlotte married John Jones in 1910.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.
