The Rankin Family History Project began in 1997 with a simple 3 generation family chart. Inspiration came from our grandmother who has shared a lot of great stories and really got us going when she loaned us her copy of Maryland Catholics on the Frontier by Timothy O'Rourke; and also from Alex Haley, whom we had the pleasure of meeting shortly before Roots was published. This site is dedicated to our great-grandparents. Without them, we would not be here.Thank you for visiting our webpages.
