After watching the Sunday morning show today 7/6/08 - I also wanted to know if there was a relationship to Bing..... I Googled it and found there is no relation to Bing Crosby. Following is a blurb from a website I found: "Extra credit: Crosby's nickname "Bing" grew out of his childhood interest in a comic strip titled The Bingville Bugle... He attended Gonzaga University... Crosby's theme song was The Blue of the Night... He's the brother of bandleader Bob Crosby, the father of actress Mary Crosby and the grandfather of actress Denise Crosby. Mary Crosby played Kristin Shepard, the gal who shot J.R. Ewing on the TV series Dallas; Denise Crosby played Lt. Tasha Yar on Star Trek: The Next Generation... The familiy is no relation to singer David Crosby... Bing Crosby and Bob Hope both started golf tournaments; Crosby's famous pro-am was held for many years at Pebble Beach golf club in California... Crosby was the topic of the 2001 biography A Pocketful of Dreams by author Gary Giddins."
Here's the link on Bing where this blurb of text came from:

I would also wonder. I am to related to fanny Crosby and have many times been told that I am related to Bing. I know for sure that Crosby family that spells their name Crosbie is the same as Crosby and was split by a very old fued. But I know I being a Crosby am related to Bing. I will definitley try and find out. I also know that my brother was named after a Nathaniel Crosby who was the father grandfather etc of Bing. So I will later give that exact info.
Bing's father, Harry Crosby, was a book-keeper; and Bing's mother raised seven children.
Harry Lillis Crosby. It is believed (Bing) came from a childish imitation of a gun, Bing, rather than Bang. somewhat oddly the bing bing sound effect was used on the childish animal cartoon-with a western bent- Richochet Rabbit or Richochet (Bing Bing) Rabbit! This character, of course, has no connection with Mr. Crosby.
No - David Bowie appeared on Bing Crosby's tv show in america - where they performed the duet together.
Bing Crosby's mother Catherine (Harrigan) Crosby is buried at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California. His father is buried there as well.
