RANC - RANCK - RONK The Family

The first recorded member of this family is Jean RANC b: 1641. His only known sibling is Hans Valentine RANCK, b:Paris, France. d: 1710, Neckaran, Mannhein. buried: Palatine. First known RANCK to arrive in America was Mich'l RANCK onboard the ship MORTONHOUSE out of Rotterdam, arriving on the 23rd of August 1728. The next year; on the same ship - Johann Michael RANCK and Johan Philip RANCK arrived on the 19th of August 1729. From there this family has spread its roots far and wide. Many RANCK/RONK'S are in the United States and are not linked in these Home Pages. Can you provide another branch?

The primary "KUDOS" for this Home Page belong to my cousin Donald "Don" Eugene RONK of Vientiane, Laos, SE Asia. Don passed away August 25, 2001 Over the past few years he provided me the basis of the RANC/RANCK/RONK family data.
