My family has a family name Hance has been passed down for several generations. It has now got to the point where no one knows where the name came from. I have researched the name and have come up empty. Here is what I do know.

The oldest usage of the name that I know of comes from my grandmother's great-great grandfather. His name was Hance Kenny. He came from Ireland to the United States in the early 1800s.
