Flack Family Crest Flack Family Genealogy Pages

USE THE DATABASE FACILITIES !

As I get more organised, there are more and more Flack Families that are better 'sourced' and worth a look at. So rather than me making special pages for you to look at, its a lot easier if you use the 'top right' drop-down menu and see what the program already offers.

Under the MEDIA dropdown, the 1st option you see is FAMILY HISTORIES.

Following the link takes you to a list of some specific 'Family Histories Introductions' I have tentatively started writing. Just click and follow !

The 'Family History Introductions' should also show what source documentation we have onsite that is associated with that family.

You can also go directly to any of the website document sources by using the 'top right' drop down Menu, and again under MEDIA, you will see DOCUMENTS. (Just click and follow)

Its the same process using the drop down menu to see photo's, headstones, cemeteries, special reports and all sorts of other goodies the program provides.

So Please ................

AMERICAN FLACKS

The pages below are a bit 'messy' but I am just trying to put together various bits of information to help search for people in these areas.

Irish Roots - An Initial list of American Flacks with Irish Roots.

GETTING THE BEST FROM SEARCHING THE DATABASE

This fully searchable dynamic database is the powerhouse of this website. Some of you may be thinking that for a genealogy site this one is a bit lacking in Family Trees. That is because the software used here (The Next Generation) dynamically generates all the trees and reports you could wish for, automatically updating the pages as the information in the underlying database changes. You always see the most up to date information!

You can jump right in with a simple name search, but be warned that searching for a common name such as Mary or John Flack will bring up over 400 entries! Simply following the link on any of the names in the list that is generated will take you to that individual's details. This simple search works on a "contains" basis so, for example, searching for the forename "John" will bring up John as a first or middle name; "Ann" will also give you "Anne", "Annabel", "Mary Ann" etc.

For a more specific query there is the Advanced Search that allows to you search by dates, date ranges, place names, use Soundex matching, include the spouse's name in the list generated and more - great fun and very powerful.

Once you have selected an individual you can display their information as part of an Individual fact sheet or switch to a Pedigree or Descendancy view whichever suits you. Clicking on a Group Sheet ID Number will give you the Family Group report. In any of these views you can follow the links through earlier and later generations: the pages are all dynamic so feel free to roam.

There is also a Surname search. It comes as no surprise that FLACK heads the "25 most popular surname" list, but we have quite a bit of information on related families that hopefully will be of use to you.

While the information in this database comes directly from our personal Flack databases, it is in reality YOUR database as it incorporates not only our own research findings but also information from the many people Jim and I have been in correspondence with over the years, as well as information published on the internet and elsewhere. We have endeavoured to acknowledge your contributions wherever possible but our apologies where we have failed to do so. We are always very grateful for your input.

Where no country is given in place names this may be assumed to be England, UK, for no other reason than that this was where our research started and at the time we did not envision it extending beyond the shores of this soggy island. Places in the rest of the world should be given in full and in time we will try to "globalise" all place names. We have also tried to avoid abbreviations in place names wherever possible, as people outside of the local area may not be familiar with these, but please point out any that persist!

We have done our best to ensure that the information has been entered accurately and have cross-checked it wherever possible, but as always if you spot any errors or omissions please let us know and we will correct them. Our database is by no means complete: there is still a lot of tidying up to do, particularly on the sources and notes side, and more information about existing and new individuals is being added daily. This site's database will be regularly updated with these modifications. If you have any further information or queries about your Flack ancestors, or indeed on any Flacks anywhere, then we will be pleased to hear from you.
