SWANK

I'm rather new at this although I'll be 70 this year. I'm trying to find information about my grandparents.

His name was Ronald Earl Swank, and his twin's name was Reta Swank (that is the correct spelling). Their fathers name was Will (or William Swank, and I'm trying to find their mother's (my grandmother's) maiden name. I could have been Coats but I'm just not sure. She went by either Ella Swank or Nancy Ellen Swank. Will Swank died in Marion, IN in 1930 and Ella Swank died in South Bend in 1960. Ronald died in South Bend in 1971 and Reta died (I don't know where) in the flu epidemic of 1918. Any help or ideas as to where I can look would be appreciated. Many thanks. Update: Hi - I found some more re the SWANK namd in Bluffton. My father, Ronald Earl Swank, was born in Bluffton on Jan. 31, 1896. His father was William Swank and his mother was Ella Davis. According to the health department in Bluffton, there is no record of Ronald's Twin sister's (my aunt Reta Swank) birth. I do know that I have photogtaphs of both of them taken in Carthage, Tennessee in about 1908, and that I've been told that Reta died in the flu epidemic of 1917-18. So far I've been unable to find anything more about William Swank or Ella Davis - birhtplace, date, etc. Jack Swank May 15, 1997, rev. November 26, 1997, rev. March 13, 1999
