Hi I am trying to collect information on my grandfather Fred Washington Craven's family for my mother Aunda Craven Scarbrough from Trinity NC. I have never been able to find out much because my grandfather passed when I was only 12 years old and had dementia for years before passing. I was wondering if u had any information regarding my grandfather or maybe my great grandfather Wesley Ladolphus Craven, who his father was and so on! I would really appreciate the information so I can write it all in this book I'm putting together for my daughter (Olivia Conner) and nephew (Aiden Foster) so they will be able to know who our ancestors are. There isn't much on any ancestor cites so I was hoping you have more information on the Craven family ancestors and my great grandfather or grandfather are in any of your articles if you would send me any information you do have or can possibly find that would be helpful for my family and I to have to add to for years to come. Thank you very much for your time, you can reach me at..."Lyndsayc2b@yahoo.com" (Lindsay Scarbrough) Thank you again!
