2. Online Query (connie peter ward becraft was born in roadhouse Illinois. His parents are Elijah hitt becraft and Laura Estell Peck Becraft. He married my GGrandmother in Denver Colorado. Three girls came from this marriage. The marriage disolved. My Grandmother last seen him when she was 12 yrs old. On his death cert Laura Krumholtz was named as the informant. Not stating any kind of relationship dau sis or etc nothing just the name that is why I am searching for her. Peter died in Long Beach Ca. I also know that Laura did also as it gave her address. My Grandmother is now 89 yrs old and I was just wondering if she had any half siblings. It also said Peter was a widower on the death cert. Thank You for replying).
