Although we have more than 1,600 different surnames on Family Thread.com;
they derive from our primary family history lines of Kraft, Benawa, Jibson,
Younger, Sicard, Thompson, Martin, Stafford, Harley, Flatt and Getman Family
primary surnames.
The primary geographical locations for the Kraft family is Ansbach,
Bavaria, Germany; Waterloo, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada; Kent County, Michigan;
Chicago, Illinois; and Indianapolis, Indiana. Some other interesting
related Indiana families include the McMillen family of Seymour, Indiana
formerly of Bedford, Indiana; as well as the Mills Family who are tied to both
our Kraft and Younger family lines. The Younger Family gang originated
in Glasgow, Scotland, migrating to Maryland and Virginia and then on to North
Carolina; Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas. The Jibson family is from
Hive, Yorkshire, England with one member migrating to Michigan and another to
Ontario, Canada. The Taylor family originated in Northumberland, England
migrating to the Mineral, Cherokee County, Kansas during the great mining
boom.
Our Stafford line has been in the United States before it was a nation
during Colonial times migrating from Virginia, North Carolina and Gainesboro,
Jackson County, Tennessee where our Martin, Harley and Flatt family lines once
lived as well (many are still in the Cumberland River area in Middle
Tennessee).
