This
page provides an overview of our family ancestry. You can quickly find family
names of interest without wading through many of no interest to you. Links will
take you to those in which you are interested.
Jim is a mixture of
German (1/4), Scots (1/4), English (1/4 ), Welsh ( 1/8), and Irish (Northern
variety) (1/8 ). The German part comes from Grandfather Wilhelm who came to
America in 1883. Therefore, 25% of the ancestry is German - Keller/Riesinger/Metzendorf/Soldan/Schade,
among others. The rather interesting part of this is that our family name is
really Riesinger, rather than Keller. But more about that later, if you're
interested in that part of the family. The rest of the "UK" mixture
of the family goes way back in the United States - all branches having been
here at least from the mid-1700's. Principal non-German names are Davis/Quinn/Johnson/McWhorter/Campbell/Hobson/Whitehead/Packard.
Trish is pure
"UK". Her Dad, Donald Cranna, was born in Scotland, same as Trish.
All of his known ancestors were not only from Scotland, but from a small region
in the Northeast, around Aberdeen. So for you Scottish ancestry freaks, there
may be something here for you - but only if you're interested in Aberdeenshire
or Banffshire! On Trish's Mom's side things get a bit more mixed. Her Mom,
Veronica (Ron)Wolff Cranna, was born in England. We don't have much yet on
Ron's Dad's family (the Wolffs and Abels), but will get around to them when we
get the rest of the family sorted out. Ron's mom's side is quite interesting, though.
Ron's mother, Ella McCausland, was the granddaughter of LtGen John Kennedy
McCausland who served for 40 years in the Army of the East India Company(EIC).
All of General McCausland's children, including Ron's grandfather, Chester
Stanley Mccausland, were born in India. The General was born in Dublin, Ireland
of a prominant Northern Ireland family. His brother was Dominick McCausland, a
well-known jurist in Ireland in the mid 19th century, and his wife, Emma, was
the daughter of Col William Conrad Faithfull, another carear EIC Army officer.
Ron's grandmother, Patience Homer, was from a prominent Staffordshire family
going back many centuries in that area. These are the same Homers that produced
Winslow Homer, the American artist. Principal names are
Cranna/Wolff/Main/McCausland/Duguid/Abel/Homer/Croll/Gerrard/Faithfull/Fletcher
