I checked thru the baptisms and marriages but found nothing on your Bill and Madeline. I don't know if you are familiar with the area but Craft was a well known name there. Because I don't know where you live, I can't tell you where to search, You haven't given much information and it doesn't look like you have done much researching. I would suggest that you look at the earlier census records for your families in the Lawrence/Cedarhurst and Inwood areas. If you are in the NY area, go to the Mineola courthouse on Old Country Rd. and look up Craft and Vandewater wills. At the courthouse, you can also look up land records. If you go back before 1899, you will have to look in the courthouse on Hillside Ave/Sutphen Blv'd in Jamaica. Do you have birth death or marriage dates on anyone? Do you have any living relations who could give you any clues on where these people are buried? You need dates. From the census, you should have the approximate birth year on the three that you found also if they were born in NYand if their parents were born in NY. If you get the parents on Bill Craft, you will pick up a slew of cousins. You could look for Doris at Lawrence High School . If you have her, age you could make a stab at the year that she graduated.
