I am a descendent of John Hunter Clarno to James Monroe Clarno to Elmer Clarno to Robert Hugh Clarno, Sr. to me, Robert Hugh Clarno, Jr.
I am interested in finding exactly where we came from. I know there is a family story of us coming from France, but I can find no evidence of that, including the fact that there are no French First names in the family "tree". I have checked French last names and cannot find any even near the spelling of Clarno, but I have found Clarno (Clarvoe) in Glouscester England in the 1600s. The records on micro film for the 1700s (for Glouscester) are unreadable, but their are readable records from the 1600s showing Clarno and Clarvoe. Does anyone have any information to add? I'm still open to origins outside of England if solid evidence shows up.
