Kelly, That's a pretty loaded question. The
Rine name in America could be from several
nationalities, depending on your branch, and,
or if your surname was "americanized", either
by mistake or on purpose. My Rine family name
was originally of German ancestry and until
the late 1700's was spelled Rein.Other
familes may have been Rine, Rhine, or even
Ryan. You would have to search your line
back closer to when they came to America to
find the answer to your Rine family name.
Sorry, I couldn't help more.
