Surnames: Lane Classification: Queries Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XNB.2ACI/23.278 Message Board Post: I am a descendent from some Lane's in Ray County, MO. We have been searching for my GGrandfather's parents. My GGrandfather's name has been spelled many different ways, which has made it more difficult. His name was Aera (Area, Erie, Ara) Lane. He was born in 1875, around Ray County. Would appreciate any help or information you might have on the Lane's. Thanks!
