Well, it's not a Clan in its own right - what I am talking about are the descendants of John Hugh Rankin and Josephine Campbell of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Their surviving sons and daughters, and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, will be gathering in Cape Breton in the Year 2000. For many of us, it will be the first chance to see our cousins, or the first time in decades. We are looking forward to a wonderful event!
This isn't much interest to a non-Rankin, but you can stay tuned here for any details of the planned events.
Cousin Glen MacGillivray hosts a web site with all the family contact information here. He also hopes to provide genealogical information as well.
You can check out a chart of Niall's ancestors, which include a lot of the Rankin's
here. I have lots of additional information on Rankin's, so don't
hesitate to contact me
.
