I'm researching my GG Grandmother, Elizabeth Ranager Swartzlander/Swathlander who lived in Davie Co. NC in 1850. She was born 1814 in Surry Co. NC and married Philip Swartzlander. I'm very interested in your message on Rootsweb concerning the Ranogajec/Raneger name change. Do you know when the spelling was changed or any more information about the name change? I have not found documentation for Elizabeth's mother and father and would appreciate any help identifying her parents and family. Davie Co is next to Iredell and Yadkin Co's in NC. Thank you,
GerriAnn
