During our sales effort to sell IBM our QAPlus
Diagnostics, we had to provide proof of ownership and a
escrow of our intellectual property for IBM. A company
of the size and experience of the IBM PC Company,
cannot allow legal entanglements, with Intel as our
investor, this was enlightening and a fascinating process.
A IBM Intellectual Property Attorney told me, Gordon,
everything in life is a derivative work...

SECTION 1
Educate Improvement

Entrepreneurs everywhere you look...
The large increase in Entrepreneurs is due to the econ-
omy.
Everyone seems to want more, things are not running at
the normal smooth waters of yesterday, and people want
to express their frustration.
The EDU Plan requires significant investment to accom-
plish its goals and objectives which is to provide Broad-
bandPlus (wideband) to all of America within six 6
months. This would require significant acceleration of
our build out progress. It would rehire and train and
hire significant numbers of semi skilled workers, I
watched Verizon FIOS being installed by Mexican work-
ers in Florida in a large condo development. Multifam-
ily dwelling install rapidly once Fiber to the curb... Busi-
ness Parks and buildings also install rapidly once Fiber
to the curb...
The country side (ranches and farms) of America needs
to connect to the Internet to sell their goods and services
to the cities, people like to buy American. Wireless net-
works will cover large territory rapidly and is easy to re-
pair. Then everyone is a local... ;)
We have Business Incubators in Idaho, Washington,
Montana, Wyoming, to Nevada, California, and Oregon
to connect west of the Mississippi, then we need another
team coming from the East, they have more people in
small areas to connect.
A high Speed Rail would reenergize our economy due
to the size and scope of such an undertaking, we could
become better friends with China, and Germany which
build the trains.
China has helped us before they built our last railroad
about 100 years ago or more, and we need to improve all
terra ferma infrastructure anyways...
3

Without international partnerships, how can this needed
repair happen at this time? Why not increase the rebuild-
ing of our infrastructure, it will take years to do it... And
we can therefore improve our economy, but it will take
some outside investors, just like a family owned busi-
ness always has to face at one time or another, such is
the way of trade and markets.
A wise family only sells options, warrants, stocks and
bonds, so as to not lose equity and control.
Communication is the path to peace, connecting at this
point is the only sensible solution for us to communicate
directly, globally, and learn visually of the actions of the
earth. Our History, and why we don’t want to repeat
what our forefathers learned the hard way.
Communication is the path to peace, connecting the rich
and poor via Angels helping the Business Incubators
can stop any further degradation of relations between
the wealthy, that are just as worried, probably even more
than the poor. I know, I lived it. both sides.
The wealthy know they need to invest to help the econ-
omy. How they do it, why they do it, and when they do
it, are open questions.
The only way to settle this issue is to assure the investor
of a return on investment somehow, even if just via tax
deductions, which with the new increase in probability,
would sell quick if done properly. Everyone needs to
make money with the available money, and we all need
to improve our ﬁnancial security, so a Angel Investment
into National Interest Projects would be Tax Deductible
perhaps 2X... or? it is time for some creative to close the
order folks...
Wall Street will compromise.
Banks will compromise.
Government will compromise.
People will compromise.
we just need to do it at one time together as Americans.
and go in one direction regardless of the future.

EDU Plan needed to rock the conscience to are you kid-
ding? Because when you rock them out they always re-
member... ;)
Who wants to see a Product Demo? No one... Who
wants to see a Product come to market and succeed?
Everyone... Need a rock band and some fun like Farm
Aid, etc. to bring it to the market... Tell Willie we want
to paint the pig and take her to market... And we need
FaceBook to broadcast it in HDTV over the Internet, like
in Africa with Doug Stanley. Livingston, I presume?
Alternative to ETRE? is FaceBook Rock Series of Off-
shore... Fishing, et al.
It will take a signiﬁcant infusion of capital to demon-
strate improvement which would uptick the American
purchasing level...
How would you fund?
Wideband to the home and in parallel:
Find Acquire core Tech.
The problem with committees, and Boards, is people.
EDU Launch requires one vote. my way or the hiway...
--------------------------------------
Merge Incubators into a National Interest Project with a
Tsar.
Develop eLearning in a consistent SDK like OSX
APPS using Frameworks.
Use America’s Universities to provide Grad Students to
Incubators with on the job training credit and the ability
to connect the University Developments into the world
of newcos... the Universities do this now, but need Incu-
bator outlets, and the incubators need the talent for
cheap or nothing, the grad students get paid... and get
credits.
The SuperComputer University connected at your local
Entrepreneur Incubator where we have a Nerds corner
5

for the kids, to get them off the streets, and video games
that teach while playing, advanced courseware, we need
behavioral labs for user reactions and improvements to
the eLearning courseware materials.
A community needs a Entrepreneur Incubator to be the
town hall on the Internet at all times, just schedule
some time or you can use your local Home Theatre store
if you have ones with Demo Rooms...and the Internet...
Entrepreneur Incubators need to be able to demo their
project or newco across the EDU Angel Network...
EDU then has the ability for International Investments, a Real-
ity TV show or two, and a chance to employ many, and would
be the vehicle to educate those sitting on their couches. The
Internet is the Bookshelf.
EDU is HDTV online over the Internet and or cable...
the ability to deliver the people would be a large under-
taking, and need communication across the world to
bring peace at last.
If my family of visionaries mean anything it is the at-
tempt to make things better...
or lead...
or educate...
I use what I know, and that is to increase the availability
of the Internet to all of America will only help, people
will get jobs, and people will ﬁnd ways to improve their
lives, it should be Free For the Unemployed, and eLearn-
ing should be a mandatory component of the content
available to help them help themselves, they would need
to learn how to learn, and use the Internet as their book
shelf.
High School Drop Out’s to MBA’s wanting to improve skills...
The Original Ray, I named him that because he must
have been the ﬁrst one, no body messes with Ray, and he
taught me that even without a high school education, the
Discovery Channel, Learning Channel, and the History
Channel allowed Ray to learn and understand ... and
even try his hand a being a philosopher... no one argued
6

with him. And there was an amazing gentle kid in him
wanting what he missed growing up in a difficult home.
Ray is damn smart, he is one of many. Today, Ray
would love to Learn at the Speed of Sight sitting on his
couch, and so would many others, our elders never stop
learning if you notice...
EDU would bring Fiber to the Home.
This would allow a next generation of eLearning and
HDTV content on Video on Demand of the History Chan-
nel and Discovery Channel video libraries Hyper Indexed
to Chapter and Frame of MetaTags, etc. or Time Codes, etc. to
locate load and position the video to the Associative In-
dex of your DNAid(tm). what and where you are cur-
rently using the Internet to learn from and any reason-
able videos, PDF’s specific to the context of your main
viewing.
This would provide in a eLearning Structured learning
video game.
the access and display of like info...
imagine:
A video game as rich in 3D animation as Avatar in
4Kx4K HDTV which is coming soon, the bandwidth for
this doubling of resolution will require the Internet to in-
crease in speed. LSI Logic demoed their 4K capability us-
ing some Lucas Star Wars content, it was mind blowing
to see the incredible detail possible, and imagine what a
child would see if it were the earth, flowers, trees, fish,
rabbits and stuff, this demo was in a tent in a show in
Las Vegas 10 years ago... We don’t have the bandwidth
to use it everywhere, but with this ultra HDTV and some
slick Playstation3 and XBOX class animation helping the
education process with access to HDTV video libraries
across the world... more info than needed, but visual
7

learning is what we have caused our kids to expect...
Playstation and XBOX and Wii...
and PC and MAC’s... now iPads and Androids...
Fiber to the Home is required to go to the next level,
we are already stuck with the Internet as the new com-
munication vehicle, the cat is out of the bag...
Which would give the user of the newspaper on the cen-
ter screen videos clips or more on the side screens, as the
user progresses in any direction so does the pathway
fore and aft...
And we need to put people to work installing the Wide-
band...
EDU would need to locate and acquire a video game
company. Video Games have the proven profit track re-
cord, it is much easier to raise capital for a company
with 7 consecutive quarters of profit, and the infrastruc-
ture to bill for usage in real time over the internet.
Game Companies and have Tax advantages, and have
recurring cash flow online products that evolve... Distri-
bution channels in place, methods to market, etc.
Video Game companies can develop using a cross com-
piler environment (Multiplatform) for eLearning class
games. Use some or all of their libraries for animation of
object movement with voice over, music THX is desired,
et al.
Digital Story Telling is hot area of interest, who is the
leader, cash position?
At home eLearning needs Learn by doing with a Digital
Video Camera or Digital Camera, or ? Learn by doing
and having to do a Digital Book Report.
Graded by AARP and active school teachers that get it...
We can with a wideband Internet help each other help
each other, Globally.
which is a pretty good back up system to the FAX.
8

EDU for America, and its people and the world to commu-
nicate and trade thus reducing tensions and bringing
tourism to America to sell our way out...
we could skip the wideband part, while we Sprint to the
ﬁnish line, lets pump up the volume! Use the EDU Plan
to employ people even if for short contracts to install
wideband nationwide... and then educate the people
by eLearning that is captivating, and like a video game,
the user can’t wait to learn more... to win.
9

EDU Plan
the EDU Plan is a concept to engage American Industry,
and Business Incubators to create solutions to eLearning.
And is the primary area of interest since it can, using the
Internet, produce immediate results for those wanting to
learn as rapidly as possible. Motivated learners... The
missing link has always been the Investment.
To accelerate the EDU Plan and the economy a very
large infusion of capital into a Central Revenue Stream,
coming from the eLearning Gameware.
EA is the king in the Game Software market. EA has
the talent to bring “TITLES” to market. The billing sys-
tem in place and the ability to work with the many
Game Developers under the EA blanket...
eLearning is a game. now it can generate cash... sim-
ple math to History of the World, and Geography, and
... just more TITLES...
Learn at the Speed of Sight via 3D animation, videos,
and textual information and other related digital con-
tent, is the goal of the EDU eLearning focus. Visual
learning that can advance at the speed of the user imter-
action during the learning process, using Playstation and
10

XBOX design and engines to learn while playing a game.
Same as succeed proceed, fail retry...
From the simplicity of Khan Academy on YouTube for
teaching complex math, Business Stocks, etc. using the
most simple whiteboard and colored pens, awesome simplicity.
Works.
To the output of the nations educational and Univer-
sity’s to the Business Colleges that always ﬁnd a diamond
in the rough from off the streets...
It seems to me we ﬁnd a lot of hungry Entrepreneurs outside
of the formal University environment.... Jobs, Gates, etc.
eLearning needs to have a large angle of view of course-
ware to determine the most rapid learning techniques to
become standardized Framework, of a ISO International
Standard Organization like ISO 9001 for education.
Equal footing Globally... extensive effort already under-
way on eLearning in India...
Without a ISO standard for eLearning, no seamless ar-
chitecture will prevail.
I created the EDU Plan to Help People Help Them-
selves.
The Internet is the Bookshelf.

Chapter 2
one day on the way to the forum, I ran across Et Tu
Brutus and the Ides of March... Latin class, 9th grade,
and over 10 generations of the DeVere’s for
Shakespeare... Anonymous ...
As I progressed over the next two years working on the
Kraft Family Tree using www.ancestry.com
I realized my mothers reasons for asking me to complete
the Kraft Joss Family Tree, that was the time she told me
I get my creativity from her, not my dad! ;)
Dad smiles, and mom knew Ambassador Bryce was
researching, or helping the Joss after the death of Angus
Joss. Bryce is the subject of her 1951 letter to Scotland...
KRAFT’S TREE

Kraft Family Tree
The Kraft’s came from Germany to Lunenburg Nova Scotia
primarily, then some to Pennsylvania, and Ohio, Ontario,
Michigan.
As the Kraft’s married and lived near the Stauffer’s in mid
Ohio, there were Bechtils and Myers as neighbors in the Lu-
theran, Mennonite farming areas of Ohio. Aunt Susie Stouf-
fer was my favorite Aunt, since she could outcook all others...
Kraft Foods started in Canada. Stouffer Foods... Victualler
for the Royal Navy? Lunenburg.
(like the DNA Tree, our family tree connects on both sides in
parallel fashion to the basic same husbands and wife's over
History)
William I Conqueror England -Joss side
William I Conqueror
Wife is the Matilda of Flanders -Kraft side
probability of this being coincidence is zero... but then there
are many connections between Kraft and Joss over the history
of man... from a time line standpoint... GrandKids marry
generations later? my opinion, this is the result of Charle-
magne Dynasty.... Which we match.
King of Europe?

171K family members and growing?
I started in Sept. 2010 working on Mom’s Kraft Family Tree
to generate more data and infrastructure for my AiLibrary Pro-
ject (which had a copy of Broderbund Family Tree Room in
the design from 10 years ago)... Kenningston Rune Stone...
The Kraft Family Tree has significant forefathers, the accuracy
is in question after 1000AD, but at the overview level, Mom is
connected to the Stewarts and St. Clairs and Robert the
Bruce, all of Scotland, Including the Forbes, Munro’s and Ken-
nedy’s, and Henry II, and Dad has William Wallace (Brave-
heart), and all of Western Christianity to the beginning of
time... Richard the Lion Heart... many Knights and Christian
Leaders... the Lutheran Church has Adam Krafft (Inspector of
the Church) Anabaptists Brandenburg Germany... And Adam
Kraft Master Mason, personally created the 61’ Tabernacle at
the St. Lorenz Church in Germany, and many other works
of art as mentioned in Wikipedia... Gameo.org, Catholic Ency-
clopedia, Stauffer’s Mennonites and wikipedia?, bring the
Peace and Christian values we cherish... Nobility and grace.
LDS - Later-Day Saints New Eden is in America... Cole Mis-
souri? Henry Stewart (Minnesota Land Grant) 1400’s before

from Templars from Knights of Christ in Portugal prior to jour-
ney to discover America in 1492, funding from Queen Isa-
bella, I had cocktails there in Spain with ETRE!

Point of View - POV or angle of view...
The Kraft Family Tree shows our lineage from Scotland, key-
stone is Ambassador Bryce, that mom asked Scots Ancestry Re-
search Society about in 1951... Connects us to Carnegie Li-
braries, Bryce was a Trustee of the Carnegie Libraries and
close friend to Andrew Carnegie. Keystone or Capstone.
Newport Tower RI, has Winter Solstice alignment (Stone-
hedge also) portholes in the tower that during 12-21 the sun

Summary
The experience of doing the Kraft Family Tree has been over-
whelming for a 68 year old man. A man that has tried very
hard to do good and help others and has exceeded even his
ego expectations in business and the creation of products and
services, a gifted attention deficit disorder man that uses a
natural solution to stay focused, while sitting in dry dock of
life at this moment of time, and Humbled more than possible,
to relate, the feeling generated is beautiful, now what to do
what to do?
Realizing this Kraft Family Tree result even before finished
matches my expectations... and the fact that my iMac in
Naples was hacked, and my new iMac has been hacked... the
probability of accuracy is increased... to probable...
The only basis of my thinking has always been to stop hurting
each other for what we want to take, not give... My only solu-
tion is to evolve the Internet to connect the people of the
planet, and that is in process, so the more connections the less
the number of reasons to hurt each other... illumination is
here and in process... Egypt, Syria, America, Saudi Arabia,
China, India, Europe, et al... why the printing press, newspa-
pers, etc....
The Vikings realized it was more beneficial to TRADE than...
Kiev, Russia...

Much of the consideration I have of the results of the Kraft
Family Tree cause me to compare my birthdate with the Titans
mythology stuff, I take the fifth! and wanting to find a solu-
tion to what may be no issue, if my idea of Copernicus that Ve-
nus gravity will alter the trajectory of something that con-
cerned the Mayans...
Venus gravity helps this idea of why the Mayans and Nostrada-
mus were wrong...
Mom’s letter about Ambassador Bryce matches our Kraft
Family Tree results, if he were researching the Joss family
line... or was it the Kraft family line?
He researched the times of man from Caesar's to Icelandic
Sagas, to Armenians, to US Democracy...
Bryce was a TRUSTEE OF THE CARNEGIE LIBRARIES
OF SCOTLAND AND A MEMBER OF THE PRIVY COU-
CIL IN ENGLAND, AND AMBASSADOR TO THE USA...
OUR DNA PARALLELISM INTERCONNECTS MATCH
HIS RESEARCH...
(based on ancestry.com results)
22

What I expected to find, is that the Kraft family line are farm-
ers, carpenters, and merchants with dad’s hard headed dutch-
man attitude. Hank Kraft and his brothers John and George
got to go to college, which from the farms of Ohio was un-
usual, and Dad always acted like he was from a Royalty...
even though big in size he could dance like Fred Astaire... had
a twinkle in his eye... and was liked by everyone that I met,
that knew him. Dad had the ability to look down his nose in a
manner and say “oh really?” and people would kind of melt.
;)
Hank Kraft was famous for bringing home over 30 people and
cooking for them on a whim... so that is why I did it... I am
very proud of my dad. He was a peaceful man and well
liked...
When asked his recipe, he would say “sometimes I use Scotch,
and other times, wine”.
The Mennonites and Amish are living a in a “plain” manner in
their commitment to God for their lifestyle, and you have to re-
spect this. The Mennonites did not as a practice, marry out-
side of their religious beliefs. Hugh Kraft and the next genera-
tion, Henry O Kraft were Methodist/Lutheran, as was our pos-
sible relative Adam Kraft in the 1400’s. I have Emma J Stauf-
fer Kraft’s family Bible, King James (Red Letter) version, she
has a clear Anabaptist Mennonite bloodline to Germany and
Switzerland to 1400.
The Kraft’s and Stauffer’s are founding families of America
dating 100 years before the 1776 War for Independence.
What I have found is the Kraft Family Tree does match the
Holy Blood, Holy Grail book...
Is it real or is it Memorex?
With the public release by www.ancestry.com of “Kraft to
Christ”, it doesn’t matter...
Houston we have a problem, my solution, if true,
Purchase a place for the Kraft’s and do what we do...
23

The Kraft Family Tree using Ancestry.com as the basis,
shows our forefathers were “Merchants from Kiev”, First
Russian Czar, the Viking bloodlines become the Charlemagne
Royalty of Europe... plus Byzantium, Babylon, Iraq, Iran, Tur-
key, Western China, to the Vandals and Ostergoths, and that’s
my island, Ireland, et al, and the entire Kraft Family Tree
seems to follow this Viking and Roman territory as the birth-
place of our forefathers, from Iceland to China, to Africa, to
America... and the Grace of some of our forefathers is hum-
bling.... I draw the line at 1000AD... looks accurate to that
point...
It occurs to me, that the Christian Religion had many interpre-
tations controlled strongly by the Catholic Church, with the
Northern regions of Europe leaning towards a more controlled
strict Christian belief that of the Anabaptist and reformed Lu-
theran. The two main Christian groups had a bloody relation-
ship resulting in the pacifists relocating to the America’s, both
North America and South America, and Africa, Australia and
undoubtedly the rest of the world. Today over 70% of the Men-
nonites live in the southern hemisphere (I read this some-
place). The Pilgrims in Plymouth Rock are a vivid example.
The Pacifistic oriented Christians were farmers and craftsman,
and settled America all the way to California Gold country,
Colfax area during the (1800‘s) days of working in the mines
there, one of the Kraft’s fell badly and died there. They were
obviously spreading their seed. The family’s of the Mennon-
ites were often over 10 kids per family. Where did these peo-
ple come from? Certainly they kept to themselves.
Since my research traveled back in time using the History
Channel videos on iTunes, I realized the location of our Fam-
ily Tree members and our Bloodlines, religious beliefs,
and my own interest in History, had common locations of inter-
est. We were Anabaptists, peaceful, and lived in locations that
we could practice our religious beliefs and would be safe.
Interestedly, The world’s top Crusader Knights were warrior
Monk Knights from England, France/Franks/Germany, Den-
mark, Belgium, Switzerland, and the Stauffer’s and relatives
lived in Switzerland Alps, they came from many places to the
Alps for the protection that the Alps gave to their religious be-
liefs, and the knights that lived there were in demand for centu-
ries as the top mercenaries across Europe. Today the Swiss
Guard protect the Pope. The focus of the Crusaders was a to-
tal commitment to Christ (no different than a Friar), as Monk
Knight’s, and as such they committed everything they owned
to their belief in Christ. However the Knights were from the
wealthy noble families and everything they did was for
profit... They went “a-Viking”. Banking came out of this.
Bookkeepers, Printing Press invented, etc. And the fact two of
our bloodlines link us to the VC lien holder owner Fust/Faust
of the Gutenberg Press... so I figure TalkStory is the original
book... I collected leather bound hard books when young...
Then after several months of research using wikipedia, and
other such religious wikis, and ancestry.com plus Google
Search, I have come to realize my original concept of the
Crusader and Templar Knights are related to us via the
Stauffer and Kraft family tree, is a correct guess. Then we go
24

back further in time, according to ancestry.com and find out
that most if not all of the Nobility of Western Europe and Scan-
dinavia are our forefathers... Then further there are our family
linkage to the Roman Caesars, et al... Plus the Basques and
Spanish of Toledo and Madrid down to Barcelona... This
branch goes to the Portugese Azores and Acuna and then to
Mayans, deLeon, Silva, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and to the
Prophet Muhammad... both sides of the Crusades... time for
peace.
My favorite, is our Portuguese family members from Acuna of
the Madeira Azores to Puerto Rico and Makawao Maui Ha-
waii bruddah, they were were the Portuguese riding horses
there in the 1800‘s, and then we lived right below them on the
volcano... and deLeon... many to Brazil in the 1300-1400’s.
I think pidgin came from Portugal... The Protestants brought
over 1400 Portuguese from the Azores to work and help with
the growth of the ranches and farms of Hawaii. Van Der Ha-
gen becomes Silveira in Hawaii the Portuguese spelling for
Van Der Hagen, connect to us via the Acuna and grow in his-
tory to Pureto Rico, Cuba, Mexico and California then also Ha-
waii, so they would be possible cousins? After the 100 years
war, the Flemish moved to the Azores and became the House
and Tree and Crest to Macau China from Portugal and or the
Azores... The Azores became the start of the Exploration of
the rest of the world. This is evidenced by the Crests of the
Crusades showing in the Macau China Crest of three main
houses and two smaller ones. The Azores were called New
Flanders... Dutch to Aruba, Brazil, etc. Some of these fami-
lies show being MARRIED in Acre Brazil? Then returning to
the Azores and Europe. Follow the CRESTS, just look at the
pictures... Crest no 20 Potent was the Angevigeans Crest...
Did the Portuguese and or Basques take something from Acre,
Galilee to Brazil? Why does several families show as being
married in the middle of the Amazon Rain Forest in the
1200’s-1400’s? Simoa is a name found in the Azores... Giants
of Samoa? in Brazil?
What is real? and what is no end of chain... the consideration
of several alternate evolutionary paths, and merger of two dis-
tinct bloodlines(one from Viking and the other from Religious
path) appears to support ...
the combination of Viking and Nobility and Grace, result-
ing in peaceful grandparents..
Starting with Charlemagne the Great of Franks (he had over
10 wife's and probably 50+ kids) links to most notable Nobles
of that time which he probably put into office... He was
Franks/German descent. The linkage of many of the Kings
and Queens begin in Scandinavia...
L'Anse aux Meadows
ERIC THE RED, ERICKSON, ANDERSON, LARSON,
HANSEN...
Then we have linkage via Sylt and our Norwegian ancestors,
the possibility of having our forefathers walking over much of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and back to Ot-
tawa, Canada, and back to Sylt, and other such starting points,
25

According to multiple records that show many many Kraft’s
living in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, and our great great grandfa-
ther Jacob coming to the US from Canada...
The document leads me to think its possible John Henry Kraft
was the brother of the father of Lewis Kraft of Kraft Foods...
since Lewis Kraft is the
youngest son listed un-
der Jacob Kraft... next
to John Henry Kraft on
the document from a
Ships List showing
point of entry as Can-
ada to the US...
Grandfather Hugh was
a well educated man, he
attended Heidelberg
German University in
Ohio. Ambassador
Bryce (first Ambassa-
dor from England to the
US) also attended Hei-
delberg University and
was the Andrew Carnegie Trustee for all of Scotland’s Librar-
ies... And John Henry Kraft and his wife lived in England for
a year plus, during Bryce’s lifetime... And John Kraft and
Eliza Kraft brought back Margaret A. Binyon age 11, scholar,
stepdaughter, from Blackley England Newtons Head... Mom
knew there was a connection, her entire initial letter was ask-
ing about possible relationship with Bryce to the Scots Ances-
try Research Society Dec. 26, 1951, wonder what she learned
at Christmas? Bryce did find a piece of NOAHS Ark... he
was a world famous researcher and adventurer... a genius in
his time. Viscount Bryce was the choice of Andrew Carnegie
for Trustee of the Scottish Libraries... what secrets did he
know? was Bryce in-
vestigating, and/or sup-
porting the Joss family
in secret? someone
was, after the death of
Angus Joss... check the
date of her letter...

Mom’s Japsen family is from the Isle of Sylt, a isle off the
coast of Denmark.
The people of Sylt were Vikings, fisherman and Whalers...
even the Rune Stones of Kensington and Newfoundland are
probably real... The settlement of Northern Newfoundland Is-
land clearly is revealing new secrets every year since it was
discovered by the Vikings around 1036, and the fruits and
woods they returned to Norway with... some only grow in cer-
tain locations in America (Vines, Grapes, Hardwoods = Vine-
land)...
My opinion of the Templar and Mason’s stories on the History
Channel, is that they are probably true, and the flow of the peo-
ple who wrote the Declaration of Independence were who?
From where? What Religion? Magna Carta families? Relief
of Religious persecution and Free Rights at the heart of the
Declaration? What did they want to improve? They did! July
4, 1776 and we have celebrated it every year since. That is
what we have that others seek... freedom.
With what supporting fellow religious groups coming here in
groups, our forefathers were amongst them. We had organiza-
tion, structure, land, money, and willing and wanting people to
settle here. The King of England tried to run it, but we know
what happened to that idea. It became America with the princi-
ples straight out of the Magna Carta, and other sources estab-
lishing the framework of a Free Society with Freedom of
Choice including Religion, and the clear intention of the need
for separation of church and state was born due to the experi-
ences in Europe, by those that drafted our Constitution. The
right to bear arms was also born out of the European experi-
ence and the fact it was the smart choice, because it was to be
the self regulated might for right, save the cabin from the indi-
ans... they were the pioneers we call our forefathers today.
The most striking experience was to find De Velasco as a
grandfather from Toledo, Spain. Eric you Vicki and Krystle
and I had lunch at Jose Velasco’s mothers home in Madrid,
Spain, and they said that his family used to own the Steel
Mills of Spain! Then Jose took us to the Prado Museum and
showed us his great great ... “our” grandfather standing next to
the King of Spain in a 50’ long Mural on the wall! wow!
I drove a Avis BMW rental car at maximum warp, we drove
on the trip all over Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and
then the TGV train to Paris, Jose Velasco, and his Travel Agent
friend set us up a trip plan that took us thru Eggwilli, Switzer-
land and we stayed in the most incredible beautiful Inter-
laken... on our way to see Intel European offices. And Olivetti
in Milano.
History shows that the Anabaptists were favored as farm rent-
ers in Scotland, England, Northern Europe and across the Alps
and Germany. They grew better, faster, and more, than the nor-
mal farmers of the era. And paid more TAXES reliably. Relig-
ious persecution in Europe, cheap land, and the opportunity of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ottawa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Wis-
consin, and the Gold of California, caused them to migrate
across America.

The Joss/Japsen line is distinct and clear. Mom is related to
everyone in Scotland! Plus her mother’s family is from the
Isle of Sylt.
Mom knew some of this but had no proof, and gave each of us
a “treasure map of sorts” since the pertinent info is included,
the letter from 1952 cements her lineage to Scotland’s finest
families, she would and is very very proud...
Joss were the real stone masons of Scotland... wrights, joiners,
artists, etc. in stone... and Sandusky was a booming quarry
and stone works mecca...
Adam Krafft was also a world renown stone sculptor in 1403
Marburg, Germany, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia on
the Internet. Wikipedia says he was the Master Mason of the
Tabernacle at St. Lorenz Church in Germany, and MalcHiram
at the House of David level, and is in our Kraft Family Tree...
so the linkage to Christ is strong... Holy Blood, Holy Grail
book, parallels our tree.
Templar signs abound, and Mason connections are possible,
but I know of none.
Summary,
The Kraft Family tree is German, NordFrisian, Swiss, French,
Scottish, Irish, Viking Denmark, Norway, Sweden, or as my
dad used to say, were AngloSaxon. The Vikings settled from
Africa to Kiev (major Viking Trade City), to most of Gaul,
Russia, and Asia!... The Anabaptists were peaceful nonresis-
tant Christians (Lutherans) and needed a safe place to live.
We were pacifists. But some (Kraft Lutherans) fought when
no other choice. As Pioneers of America they were primarily
farmers and merchants. And the strong protected the weak, all
settlers had a rifle near by.
The overall appearance of the Kraft Ancestry.com Family Tree
is a combination of Viking Raiders all the way to Africa and
Asia (and probably America) becoming married to the Nobil-
ity and Grace of the areas. And a merger of these families
with the Roman Empire and beyond. And in the Crusades, our
forefathers were there...
There is substantial redundancy in the Kraft Family Tree re-
cords due to multiple family tree’s beyond the 1400’s... Kraft-
Ridenour, grandpa’s side connects us to everyone... Kraft-
Stauffer Vogel, grandma’s side connects us to almost the same
people back in time... And Mom connects us to the Stewarts
and St. Clairs and Richard the Lion Heart...
The Kraft Family Tree looks reasonable thru 1400’s.
Seems to me: (my version of trying to be like Will Rogers hu-
morist)
Our Kraft Family Tree appears to historically follow the many
stories and movies of the movement of the ... some of the
Kraft’s were German Miner’s...
29

I clearly remember that someone called me from Nova Scotia
about family lines when I owned DiagSoft.
Using Luneburg for Krafft’s in Nova Scotia has curious possi-
bilities, KRAFT FOODS CANADA is in Nova Scotia.
The First Names of the generations of Krafts use the same
names over and over... and they are Christian names.
30

The Kraft family (the word kraft in German and Swed-
ish means STRONG, STRENGTH, FORCE of GOD)
You are so very kraft, yes fraulien, I am... opps just funnin’
note: is Mountain Goat on Kraft Crest from the Alps? Goat
represents “One who wins through politics rather than war!
“Wisp of Straw” “Sheep was White Gold” Crest sheep has
hoofs in upright fighting position, One who will not fight un-
less provoked; peace and harmony, Skilled at Woodworking,
Stonecutting Mason, Farming, labour, Cows... Joss family in
Scotland was connected as Stone Cutters and Mason’s of Cis-
tercian architecture?
Es gibt keine Grenzen für Gottes Kraft
There are no limits to the power of God

Kraft is known to be American rooted in the Pennsylva-
nia (Amish) Dutch and Mennonite culture family background
with our Grandmother Emma J Kraft coming from Emma J.
Stauffer. Grandpa lived in a simple not fancy home with
Amish quality furniture, nick nak’s, glassware, embroidery,
dollies, and a enclosed sleeping porch with crank open win-
dows. Grandpa Hugh had wooden carpenter tools with metal
blades, and he was tall, very strong, and wiry, he could crush a
single walnut in one hand. Grandpa Hugh was a artistic wood-
worker for Windows, Doors, schools, etc. Grandfather Hugh’s
dad John Henry Kraft was a Civil War Hero fighting for Ohio,
in most major battles all the way to Atlanta with General
Grant. Question? The Kraft family and all the Stauffers, Mey-
ers, Ridenour, Vogel were Lutheran or Mennonites they came
from the same general area of Hessen Germany and Switzer-
land. The birthplace of the Anabaptists. All were Christians.
If you follow Grandma Kraft (Mechling) you link to Ridenour
and everyone in Nobility and Knights.
If you follow Grandma Kraft (Stauffer) you link to Vogel and
everyone in Nobility and Knights.
Then the Roman Empire... and Bishops and Saints... what a
combination.
Like I said, Nobility and Grace.
True, looks realistic, then there is Tilley Blades and that path...
I wonder how many billions of people link to here? once you
link in, you are in, till the end of the chain. Many replications,
due to numerous Family Trees spelling the same person differ-
ently, and “twigs” or “cuttings” linked in wrong date se-
quence, looks like junk records but some I think were
“spliced” to the lower area of a chain of records on purpose...

* Nordfrisian Sylt, is the coastal area of Belgium to Den-
mark, with Nord meaning North. Sylt is a northern most is-
land that was Viking and is now German speaking tightly con-
nected family lines, including our Mother Mildred O. Kraft
(Joss/Japsen). Sylt was a naturally secure location off the
coast of Belgium and Southern Denmark. Viking fisherman
and Whalers, farmers, and raiders lived there. Today our cous-
ins on Sylt have a Knight Lancer history of photos on a Sylt
site from the 1700-1900s... really horses and lances... And
our Sylt 5th grandfather is shown to have been born in New-
foundland Viking settlement L'Anse aux Meadows in the
1700’s...

Pennsylvania Dutch and Mennonite culture of peace...
And while we have been preaching Peace as the core of our

We are at the same time warriors, begrudgingly ready

most becoming Sergeants in the written record.
John Henry Kraft
Is on the Civil War wall in Cleveland, he walked all the way to
Atlanta with Grant.
John was in the Battle of Battle of Scareytown (Battle of Bun-
ker Hill), Battle of Shiloh, Battle of Vicksburg, in which the
bold Union plan to split the Confederacy was now unstoppa-
ble, and the fate of Vicksburg was sealed.
The performance that day by Black Jack Logan’s Third
Division, of which John was a member, had been described by
one historian as “outstanding.” Another indicates that Logan
“clearly was the hero of Champion Hill.” He continued to
march all the way to Atlanta and back to Ohio.
Samuel Hugh Kraft
Samuel Hugh Kraft attended Heidelberg University of Ohio,
(Bryce went to same school in Germany) was a master crafts-
man, expert with woodworking, played bare hand, hard ball
baseball, had knuckles that were two three times the size of
normal ones. He was a carpenter and had wooden tools with
metal blades, chisels, etc.
Henry O Kraft
I know dad did not like World War II, he was all over the
South Pacific and China, and all the years until his death, all
he would tell me is that he fixed mess kits! Near his death he
did talk some, but no specifics. Dad kept many secrets, in my
opinion, he was in many security sensitive projects during his
lifetime. But was a man of peace. Never had a fight that I
know about. But then he had forearms like Popeye, and no
one messed with him, I tried to box with him in my senior year
of high school and he knocked me clear across the living
room, I landed on the couch, yet I never felt him actually hit
me, it was kind of like a bear swat. And Jim Whiting, my
buddy, and fellow high school weight lifter left the house...
some backup... it was all in fun.
Mom (showed me) said that he moved Chiang Kai Shek and
his family from Shanghai China to Formosa (Taiwan), and he
received a very small Bronze Star for his valor? All I know is
that he was a Tech Sergeant which is a specialist rank? I saw a
few photos from dad in New Guinea, he, and he told me about
going through a Typhoon in a LST landing ship.
33

Dad’s brother John, had a falling out with Grandpa and every-
one, something serious happened almost like he was outcast
from the family, because I met with Uncle George Kraft sev-
eral times when I was young and he was funny as heck. So
dad did communicate with George W. Kraft...
Mom and dad took care of Grandpa Hugh Kraft (he was an ex-
pert on the civil war because his father was in it,) with us in
Cincinnati, Ohio and on to Marion, Indiana, in his older years.
I think dad was building the VA hospital in Marion when
grandpa died.
Uncle John Kraft was a Lt. Commander on the USS Forestal
Aircraft carrier according dad who had a disconnected relation-
ship with his brother John, dad always called him the Admiral,
I think dad meant it, maybe he was?
Uncle John retired in Aberdeen, Wa. because Nancy and I
stopped there to see if he would talk to us so that I could meet
him, but his housekeeper said he was away...
Henry (Hank) Kraft had a ego and was well loved everywhere
we went. He was a Civil Engineer from Ohio State Case
School of Advanced Science, and worked on several large con-
struction projects, such as building many Veteran Hospitals
(VA). We lived in the Doctors house area of several of the
VA’s as we were growing up. Worked for GE in our years in
the Cincinnati area and Grandpa Hugh Kraft lived with us.
Hank was a Project Director and was recognized as one of the
best, he often received bonuses for completing under budget
and ahead of schedule. He could memorize and entire hospital
Blue Prints, and repeat them from memory... Power Plants,
and the Atlas ICBM Missile sites in Wyoming and New Mex-
ico, and Minuteman sites in South Dakota. Hank started Kraft
Construction Co. in Cheyenne, Wyoming but had a falling out
with his partner over some land deal, I think in the Jackson
Hole area. He was the National Program Director for the Na-
tional Home Builders Association. A Expert Witness. He re-
tired in Anderson, S.C.
Jeff O Kraft
Jeff, as I remember, you were going to skip to Canada avoid
the Draft, and the next thing I hear is that you are in the US
Army Airborne! You went to Vietnam with a foot that did not
move since you broke it badly during training jumps and were
sent to Vietnam with it immovable... Then after being in the
field for some time you were driving supplies to the remote
bases...
Eric E Kraft
My son, went with me in 1968, to see the new John Wayne
movie Green Beret when we were visiting mom and dad in
Cleveland, Ohio. He tells me today, jeez dad, that is the rea-
son I joined the Army, because he wanted to be “Doc, the
Green Beret Medic” in the movie... He has been virtually eve-
rything in the Army, from med Tech, to SF Medic in Egypt, up
to and including being a Drill Sergeant! Eric and Debbie
34

Kraft’s mom, Nancy, is Scandinavian from the English family
Watt and the Swedish name Larsen.
Kraft’s were what the name implied, skilled craftsman. They
were skilled in Woodworking (with artistic ability), Stonecut-
ters(Mason), Farmers, Merchants...
here are some thoughts:
1. Kraft/Stauffer-Stouffer are Mennonite Farmers and Kraft
(Foods) and Stouffer (Foods) are the result, and Swanson
(Foods) is in the chain of family trees connected, as is the
Myers... we are all a big group that came from Switzerland
and Germany virtually together to Lancaster, Pa. and they
came in in groups probably because
of their faith and religious persecution in Europe at that time.
and Myers had ships...
Most likely all are the same or close religion, but Kraft's are
Methodist in my search, mom and us went to the Methodist
Church growing up. His family and the Stauffer-Stouffer are
all bunched up in Lancaster, Pa. and then many move to mid
Ohio around Defiance, Ohio area and lived with the Meyers to
start with.
Grandma Emma J Stauffer/Kraft’s Family Bible has Family in-
formation for John Henry Kraft and Eliza C. Mechling our
Grandparents, and they have clearly been erased and rewritten,
maybe just spelling. I have no reason to believe anything
other than the fact that we have always been named Kraft,
even though Kroft and Graft, etc. are common misspellings.
Henry O Kraft always made me and others understand the
strength he placed on the family name of Kraft, they is no
variation or question. We are Kraft’s, confirmed by numerous
documents in Ancestry.com attached to the Kraft’s. My birth
certificate and all other documents show clearly that we are
the Kraft’s. I asked dad if we were related to James/John L.
Kraft of the Kraft cheese he said yes, grumbled, and said noth-
ing else, I took it to mean too far away relative? Perhaps that
is because I have always said that we are related but too far
away so I had to make my own fortune. So without any imme-
diate linkage to Jacob Kraft our Great Grandfather to anyone
else causes me to skip to the next probably Kraft’s in Ger-
many. Besides our fascinating Ancestry.com linkages happen
at our Grandmothers level, so concern about the Kraft spelling
further up the line is irrelevant. I talked to Aunt Katie in San-
dusky and she told me that her recollection of the Kraft family
was that they were Dutch, and Mildred O Kraft went to the
Zion Lutheran Church. But I did get a inquiry from the House
of Stewart’s family line as a result of my tracing the Kraft pos-
sible linkages... from Canada. With all the other linkages, I
wouldn’t be surprised...
Problem Solved: (I think)
35

Grandma Stauffer started to write Stauffer on the top line
and had to erase it, and put the info on the next line down.
You can see the same “r” from Stauffe”r”...
This is the core of a good story yet to be told... I clearly re-
member when working at DiagSoft, someone trying to con-
nect to me from Newfoundland or Nova Scotia that is family
related. which is why the “who moved Sylt image” caught
my attention...
the Stauffer family’s will know of this, church records exist
yet to be researched, and a professional researcher is war-
ranted.
I remember going to Aunt Susie Stauffer's in the middle of
the state of Ohio, she still had a big red operational
manual hand pump water pump in the kitchen next
to the sink... she was my favorite Aunt, she could
cook... apple turnovers, cobbler, pot roast, um...
2. Joss/Japsen are joined in Sandusky, Joss from
Scotland, Japsen from Scotland but also earlier from
NordFriesland (Denmark/German/Viking)
Mom's Scot Ancestry Research Society says: Joss
came from France to Scotland in 1403 and the
name is a derivative of Josse, and/or are connected
to St. Josse also known as St. Judoc a 7th century
Breton Nobel.
36

Mom’s Family Tree package that she gave each of us, for the
Joss family, has a document from Scotland Ancestry Re-
search Society dated 1952:
William Joss went to Scotland around 1403, and William Joss
was the Chaplain to Robert the Bruce III, at exactly the
same time as Braveheart and Robert III became the King of
Scotland for 22 years afterwards... turns out Robert de
Bruce is in her tree...
Angus Joss went from Aberdeen Scotland to Sandusky his
Father is John Joss and his mother is Isabel Munro which
connects mom to the Stewarts, St. Clair, and is in fact a de-
scendent of Robert deBrus. Angus Joss is married to our
grandmother Alma Japsen of Sandusky, and the Japsen family
line is connected to the Isle of Sylt in Nordfriesland. This is
mom’s real point in her docs...
mom would smile big if she knew this... she searched since
Dec. 26, 1952... when she sent the letter to the Scots Ances-
37

try Research Society in Scotland...

System and method for tracking an object with multiple cameras
Abstract
An object is tracked with a plurality of cameras, at least one of which is sensitive to both visible and invisible light. An
invisible light illuminator attached to the object reflects a target of invisible light. At least one camera processes the invisible
light. A command module then selects and activates one of the cameras based on the satisfaction of a triggering condition,
which may be based upon appearance, proximity, orientation, position, or any other characteristic of the illuminator with
respect to the cameras.

Dear children,
This past two years working on the Family Tree has brought new and interesting
considerations. With the constant it is not true present in my mind, I have found
numerous alternative Family Tree’s that support the accuracy of our Family Tree, the
issue is simple is the information that connects us to these preexisting Family Tree’s
accurate?
Based on the experiences and matching the feasibility of Statues and Paintings of the
15th century, the probability is high that we are the descendants of William I Conqueror,
Matilda image matches dads image...
This means that if the images are correct, enough, and the names in our Family Tree
are in the right location, the probability of being correct Family Tree, is high.
And why mom was requesting info on Ambassador Bryce? in 1951...
Mar. 29, 2012 Henry O Kraft Family Tree Grandmother shows as Matilda Flanders
