Hi, my name is Lynda Moseley. I am one of the administrators of the Craft Y-DNA surname group project at FamilyTreeDNA.com. We have several male descendants from James Craft's direct, paternal line in the project, and would welcome more, as well as autosomal male and female Craft cousins who would like to join. Thank you.
