Your grandmother Jessie was a Cradduck. I don't know how there got to be Craddocks and Cradducks but your grandmother was a Cradduck. Your aunts names are Ava Sue, Jessie, Delores and Sharon. After your grandfather died they lived with you great grandma and grandpa Bodine. I went to grade school with them in Van Buren, Arkansas then we moved to Tulsa when I was in the 7th grade so I haven't seen them since. We were never real close because my mother and my daddy were divorced when I was just a toddler and I lost contact with the Cradduck family. E-mail me at my address llbennett48 at msn.com and we will talk more. I really am your second cousin. Linda
