Hi Guys! I am NOT researching these surnames. However, Rasnick/nake is considered a common Melungeon surname. The Melungeons are very hard to find anything on and I have seen records of Vance marriages amongst them. It might be of import to know that your family was of Melungeon descent since SOME descendants MAY have some illnesses that are considered 'rare,' in the United States. You can read a little more abt these illnesses on my medical website noted below. There is also a connection on this page to an overview of just what a Melungeon is. I can send you more information if you'd like. This is FREE and via e-mail. Please e-mail me directly at [email protected] (note that there is NO 's' in this address) so we don't tie up the list.
