Surnames: Shaner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kFB.2ACE/4129.4.2.1 Message Board Post: It sounds like you may not have his legal name and that is why you can not find him. Do you have your father's birth certificate to get his full name? I have not heard of that name for my Shaners. I have found several in Canada and many stayed there with mine migrating to Kent Co. Mich. There are other's Shaners in Oceana Co in Michigan that may be part of yours. Lynea D'Angelo (Warren)
