Question

How many people, besides myself, are related to Bing Crosby?

Comments

11th cousins 3x removed

Answer 1

He's connected to the big tree, so several million people are related.

As far as blood relatives, that would be a much smaller group.

Comments

I guess that I am in the smaller group. He was, definitely, a blood relative.

Bing and Scott are 13th cousins four times removed

Guess I do have a blood relationship with him, but it's way back.

Now this is interesting.

My Father in Law is a CROSBY from Ireland, then Canada/US , then Australia.

His Gedmatch is A802876 ... all contact welcome

How does one find this out? My fathers father was Charles Sylvester Crosby of (England?) served in the Army WWII. I can’t find anything on him would love to find military records for my dad.

The simplest answer is to complete your application to WikiTree by volunteering to be a part of the community, then putting your grandfather's profile out on WikiTree so that we can work on connecting him to the larger part of the global tree. Once you're able to enter family information, there are many out in the G2G community who volunteer to help others build their trees, seek sources to prove connections, and build profiles in general to expand the global tree.

If you're only interested in seeking information regarding your grandfather and don't want to join the community, then we'd need specifics to see first if he's already out in WikiTree somewhere, and if not, if records exist somewhere to help answer your question.

Hope that helps.
