Might an ancestor born in 1770 Netherlands with the maiden name Kroon be Royal, or just a name?

It is unlikely. Have a look at this page (using Google Translate if necessary) from the Central Bureau of Geneaogy Surname Databank: https://www.cbgfamilienamen.nl/nfb/detail_naam.php?gba_naam=Kroon&nfd_naam=Kroon&info=aantal+en+verspreiding&operator=eq&taal=

There were 9,000+ people with the surname in 2007. The "analysis and explanation" and "documentation" tabs give some historical background about the surname. A link to royalty is possible but not usually the case. A royal relative would probably bear an aristocratic Title that would be mentioned in records.

Thanks for the explaination. I thought that would be the case. Appreciate your time for the new searcher on the page!
