Hello Roni-Anne,

Very nice to meet you. I was told you reached out to my cousin Brenda in Florida as well, another grandchild of Charlie Craik. I live in Mississauga (Toronto), so not all the family stayed in Calgary.

The research I have done has brought me to so interesting places for the Craiks. I did find info on Thomas and Joan (Johan) that you probably have already but I will share my tree on Ancestry for you to peruse.

Is this reunion you are planning a Craik reunion? As for pictures, I don't have a great deal of people photos, but will see what I can gather up and scan them for you. I did find it interesting that pictures of the ships our ancestors arrived in Canada on are all available from links in Ancestry.

I also did find a reference to the Craiks from Brechin, Forfar, Scotland that you might find curious. So far I am not able to hook it into our line of ancestors, but I am sure it will eventually connect.

"From 'Forfar' Wikipedia

Another important textile firm was J & A Craik & Company, Linen and Jute Manufacturers, which was based at the Manor Works in Forfar. Craiks was started in 1863 when James Craik obtained land in Forfar to build the Manor Works and the company survived until 1981, the year it became part of the Low and Bonar group."

Thomas and Joan did travel back to Scotland in 1929 with his father and mother Robert & MaryJane. You can find the Passenger manifests in their profiles on my tree.

Hope this helps and let me know how you do. Watch for the invite to my tree.

Lorne Mann
