WI Ronks -- we think Austrian roots
I guess I'm just adding a message to let everyone know about more Ronks!I am a graduate student in Tucson, AZ, but I was raised in WI with my small Ronk family. :)My father, grandfather, and great uncle are living in the Green Bay area and my aunt lives in Madison.My uncle moved to MD several years ago; he has two children my age.I've heard of other WI Ronks and I'm sure we're related somehow!My family has been farming in the Green Bay area for as long as my grandfather knows about; three generations at least before him.Legend has it that us Ronks used to be Ranks.Somewhere along the line our last name was changed (I'm sure not for the first time).My grandpa also thinks that are ancestors are from Austria.Hope that adds to the Ronk family knowledge!
