Dear Family,
The Cranston Line has a new look. I’ve redesigned the site to make it easier to read and explore on a computer or a phone. The newest stories now sit at the top of the home page with their photographs, and the whole family tree is in the menu at the top of every page.
I’d like two things from you.
First, take a tour and tell me what you think. Visit thecranstonline.com, open a few stories, try the menu, and look at it on your phone. If something is hard to find, hard to read, or simply wrong, I want to know.
Second, pass this along. Forward this email to your children, grandchildren, cousins, nieces, and nephews. The site is for everyone in the Cranston, Melby, and Painter families. Subscribing is free: enter your email address in the box at the bottom of any page, then click the link in the confirmation email that follows. After that, each new letter, photograph, and story arrives by email as it’s posted.
These letters and photographs were kept by the family for more than 150 years. Sharing them widely is the best way to keep them for the next 150.
Charles Cranston Jett
