William C. Craycroft, U.S.N.

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 frequently add 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.

This site also includes what I have learned or acquired about the English origins. A great deal of what I have learned about our English roots has come from Patrick Cracroft-Brennan of London, England. You can visit Patrick's site and see what he has currently.

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.
