I have just started working this line and believe that they came from Pennsylvannia to Maryland to West Virginia with some moving on to Michigan sometime in the 1920's. This is my ex-husband's family and his father has passed so my starting information is a bit limited. I do have some names and dates so if you have a Shank in your tree, no matter how vague, please contact me directly at [email protected] Thank you, Cynthia Walters Shank I am looking for information from the Shank Family as well, my grandmother on my father's side was a Shank, Phoebe to be exact. She was married to my grandfather Albert Sanders. they had one son, Darrel Edward Sanders - my father, Juanita Sanders, Virginia Sanders and Flossie (Florence) I think. If any of this sounds familiar, I can give you what I know. Thanks! Debra L Sanders ([email protected])
