I have been looking for your name in the addresses,but there i found no one. I have a lot to tell you, for one thing the only Ranks that are related to you are from your Grampa down. He changed his name from Rineck to Rank. My Dad said it was because he wanted it to be shorter. Are original name was Reinecke, But my Grandfather wanted it shorter and he changed it to Rineck and then later years Uncle Bill changed his to Rank, I do not know how old he was when he did it, but I do know a cousin that would know a lot more. I wished I would have looked at this before, then you would not had to wait so long.
