Hi: I am a McCracken by marriage. But I have remained friendly with my former husband, and am trying to do his side of the family for the benefit of both of our children.
I have a hard time believing this, but he says he knows nothing of even who his grandparents were! His father had
8 other siblings. With that many, there should be info out there! The best I have is that both he and his father were born in Kansas. My former husband was born in Farlington KS
19 December 1936. His Father was Ray Eugene McCracken, my husband's name is Lester L. McCracken His mother was Ruth
Virgil? Colegrove, and I think she was born in Kansas or Missouri. His father's siblings were spread all over Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Any info? Would appreciate same. My side of the family has been very well researched.
My daughter did find that the McCracken name evolved from the McNaughton name, over time.
