Hi Arthur, Were any of your Rankin's in British Columbia? I was looking at a set of pictures that I received of my birthmother's family and there is a John (Johnny) Rankin in two of the pictures. These were taken circa 1932. If you think he might belong to you, I'd be happy to scan and email them to you. Diana Reno, NV S&A <starwall@optusnet.com.au> wrote: G'Day Carmel.
