Hi Tim,

I checked my database for any CRAIGs married to any of my known Dutch
ancestors. I don't have any. I do have CARPENTERs in my ancestry, and they
appear to be English in origin. I remember reading at one point that
CARPENTER was the 8 most populous surname used in early New England. I have
the CARPENTER genealogy on a FTM cd. I believe the Syracuse library owns
this genealogy for those interested.
