Hi from the American group!
Just thought I would mention to you that there is a RANSFORD genforum site also. Our ancestors started with Elder Edward in Boston quite early in "our history:>" and include RAINSFORD Island in Boston Harbor. The name was spelled RAINSFORD,RAYNSFORD,RAYNESFORD, and in my case finally RANSFORD by around 1775 or so. Drop by and check out our forum:>)
