Gene:
Usually interested in queries regarding the RENNINGER line. Too many Georges,Johanns in the mix to properly identify your ancestor without a lot more specifics, Generally speaking, all Renningers, the many variant spellings came later, stem from two individuals (relationship not definitely established, however best bet cousins)who entered the Port of Philadelphia circa 1750's.
The true German spelling is RENNINGER, all other versions originate in the USA and generally are due to poor record making or the inability to properly spell the name. Never have made any effort to trace these variant versions.
If you have specific information regarding your ancestor, perhaps I can help you,however, as stated no interest in variant downlines.
