We have always heard of the family history coming through Prussia and the Ukraine, and more recently have become aware of the Flemish roots of some of the members of their community. This is very interesting to us since we have been living and ministering in Flanders, Belgium since 1999. Any suggestions as to how we could further investigate our family history here?

If so, I'm seriously considering getting a copy. I think the Clan Crawford Clan Association needs to look into this. The historical and heraldic evidence certainly points to there being a Flemish lineage in addition to the native Gael and Anglo-Dane lineages that, according to the recent Crawford Y-DNA project, comprise House Crawford. I strongly suspect that my own branch of the clan, which is haplogroup R1b-L20, may well be of Flemish descent.

So you can only say it was "Dutch" by dint of the language and its adoption by the Dutch Republic. But certainly not by authorship or place of origination - as I argue above.
