Chapman I know this is long, and I apologize for that, but I don't want to miss any chances for connections. I do have additional information on many of these lines that I am willing to share -- plus some photos, but mainly of my grandfather and his family forward. Thanks for your patience. And by the way, most of the people in my Craig family are tall and have dark hair. I am 5 ft. 9 in., which is tall for a female in my generation, but I had a tendency (before the gray hair started) toward brownish/reddish hair instead of black. Thanks for your patience. Kay in Oregon. e-mail <chapman@proaxis.com>
