Welcome to the Craycroft and Bresnan Family History

Although I have another site at Rootsweb this is and will be the only site I keep updated. So be sure to come back often to see what is new. I am always adding new and updated information on the family and frequently add new documents and photographs. Eventually I intend to post the hundreds of documents and photos I have acquired. Feel free to copy any information you may need for your own records. All I ask is that you acknowledge where you found them.

Over the last couple of years I have been fortunate in hearing from "new" cousins from all over the United States and England. These contacts have led to expanded information on various branches of both sides of my family. Of particular interest to me has been hearing from cousins who had "recent" links back to England, that is with in the last 150 years.

The Salt Lake City, Utah, branch of the family has stirred things up in the family by virtue of a DNA sample submitted for testing. For more information see the featured item on the right side of this page.

If you would like to have your gedcom loaded here please contact me via e-mail at the link on the right side of this page and we can get it done for you. Once that is done you can also load any documents or photos and connect them directly to your ancestors.
