This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Rend, Wrenn, Cline Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YWC.2ACI/404.3831.4208.1 Message Board Post: I am a direct descendant of Ambrose Rend (Wrenn) of Co. Leitrim/Lowell, MA/Chicago, IL. He was my GG Grandfather. I have plenty of information on him and his descendants, but none on anyone who came before him. I knew that his original surname could not have been Rend, but I have found no hard evidence to suggest what the name was previously. If you have a record indicating the name Wrenn, I would be very interested in that information. I am also interested in finding out exactly where in Leitrim he came from. I know that he married Elizabeth Cline, but have no further information on the Cline family. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
