Source notes

• Per "The Ranks of Rancks", Jean Ranc was a Hugenot pastor. When King Louis XIV of France revoked the Edict of Nantes and resumed persecution of Protestants, the Ranc family fled to Germany, where Elector Frederick of the Palatinate maintained his province as a safe haven for Protestants; it became a center of Hugenot settlement.
