My sister and I have recently found out that our great grandfather's name was Clyde Smith Craig and he was born in Nevada, Vernon County, Missouri around 1887.

We do know that Clyde had 4 other brothers and / or sister and that only 2 of them were still alive in 1920. We have no idea what their names are. If anyone has any information on this Criag family please contact me. Thank you.
