My Great-Grandfather was William H. Rankins who married Hannah Isabel Bolden. If these names are familiar they resided from Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin and on up to Vernon County, Wisconsin. Frank Rankins and his brother lived in California with their wives. Ones name was Mabel. The rest of the family was around Forest Wisconsin (Ontario) Wisconsin. Hope this helps you some.
