Research Notes
Merging of Crites-213 & Crites-620:
The Cryderman's of North America by Diane Oslund gives the name as George as the husband of Margaret Cryderman and History of the Creitz/Crites/Critz Family by June Shaull Lutz also has George has Margaret's husband.
Both books did not provide who George's parents are in certainty. The Cryderman's of North America provides the possibility that his mother's name was Catherine, but History of the Creitz/Crites/Critz Family mentions that a George Crites born ca1714 was the father of George. The parents of George have been changed to 'Uncertain' until proof can be found. George Crites was orginally showing as the father on Crites-213. Daniel Benedict Crites and Elizabetha Catharina Bernhardin were originally showing as the father and mother on Crites-620.
