Subject: I'm a Rance/Sturdevant decendent
Posted by:Don Rance <derance@comcast.net> on Fri, 21 Sep 2007, in response to Rance Sturdevant families, posted by JGaumer on Sun, 02 Nov 2003
My name is Donald Rance and I was born in Grand Rapids, MI and grew up in Grand Haven, MI where there are a number of Rance's most with Logansport ties). My Father (Gerald (Sonny) Rance) and Grandfather (Donald Lee Rance) were from Logansport. My Grandmothers name was Mary Sturdevant, but I know little of that side of the family. My Aunt and Uncle (Donald and Mary's other children were Caroline and Arthur (Art). My brother and I have tried to trace back the Rance family tree a number of times, but haven't gotten far. Any info you have would be appreciated..

I too am related to the Rance/Sturdevant side. My father was (deceased) Larry Rance Sr of Logansport and his father was Paul Rance & his mother was Carrie Sturdevant. They lived in Lucerne and operated a grocery store for several years prior to moving to Logansport. They had 13 children and only 4 remain living. William, Betty, Caroline, and Ted. We have family living in Grand Haven and Muskegon, MI. Mike Rance used to operate (he still may) a tank cleaning service out of Michigan. Love to chat and find out more, just e-mail if interested.

Steve My Grandfather Donald and your Grandfather Larry were brothers. They married 2 sisters, Myrtle and Carrie Sturdivant. Here's a link to the Sturdivant faily tree http://mkhgenealogy.com/cgi-bin/Genealogy/Data.cgi?Path=/Sturdivant/John/Matthew/Henry/James/James/William/Elkanah Guess that makes us second cousins. I grew up in Grand Haven and remember Mike Rance from when I was a kid..he kept a pony in our small barn for awhile. Also had 2 great uncles, Maynard and Cecil that lived in Grand Haven and a great uncle Ken who moved back and forth between Logansport and Grand Haven.
Alway glad to chat with Family and try and keep filling this family tree in
Donn Rance
