WANTING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF OUR UNUSUAL SURNAME, I STARTED RESEARCHING THE CRATER (CRADER, KRADER, KRATER) FAMILY NAME IN 1989. AT THIS TIME I HAVE DOCUMENTED NINE GENERATIONS, STARTING WITH JOHN KRATER WHO WAS BORN IN 1809.
OTHER FAMILY NAMES I AM RESEARCHING ARE SNAVELY, MUSSER AND SMITH.
BOTH OF MY GRANDMOTHERS MAIDEN NAMES WERE SNAVELY AND UNKOWN TO THEM THEY WERE RELATED.
THE EARLIEST GENERATIONS LIVED IN CENTRE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
I AM SUBMITTING MY RESEARCH HERE AND TO OTHER SITES SO IT CAN BE OF HELP TO OTHERS. KEEPING IT IN MY FILE DRAWER HELPS NO ONE.
