Historical References
"CROAL, CHOALL, CROLE, CROLL. Crole or Croll is the name of a small place near Closeburn, Dumfriesshire, but there is no evidence that the surname comes from it. The name appears in Kincardine and Mearns where Croll has been prevalent for several centuries. It is perhaps from Criel or Crieul near Eu in the department of Seine-Infeiieure. Bertram de Criolle was one of the witnesses to grant to Roger de Mumbray, 1251-52, and as de Crioyl he witnessed a grant to Robert de Brus, 1252 (Bain, i, 1868, 1871). Alexander Criole rendered to Exchequer the account of the feufarmer of Fethircarne, 1559 (ER., MX, p. 93), David Croill was in Kethik, 1584 (REB., n, 347), and John Croill was retoured heir of John Croill in Auldtoun of Aberdeen, 1642 (Retours, Aberdeen, 264). Andrew Croill, portioner of Kettrick, parish of Brechin, 1614, and four more of the name in the district (Brechin). Patrick Croyll in Whiteley, 1690 (Dtmkeld). Crol 1678, Crole 1730, Creole 1493 "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
DNA
Sometimes you can run into a brick wall in your tree and you just don't have enough evidence to make that next step back in time. A DNA test can sometimes help to make a link to a particular family name if you find you share common DNA with people who have the same or similar surnames as each other. If you are lucky then you may get a match within a few generations and discover some Croal ancestors. Additionally, the modern DNA test can give you a breakdown of your ethnic mix - you may be surprised at the results!
