Ancestors of James Alfred Flack

On My Fathers Side

Henry Flack was born about 1566, possibly in/near Balsham, Cambridgeshire, England.

Henry Flack was married to Ann (Unknown) and they had 4 children - Aaron, Henry, John and Agnes.

Children Aaron and Henry were born in Balsham, Cambridgeshire, while John and Agnes were born in West Wickham, Cambridgeshire.

Lots of people have helped so far with this particular descendants tree - but I would single out 3 people in particular to say 'thank you' to:-

1st is Bruce Frost (husband of my second cousin Margaret Hilda Chapman) - as he kindly provided the Lions share of this line of Flack Ancestors when I first started my research. Taking me all the way up to James Flack and Avice Willis. James was born 1698 in Balsham, Cambridgeshire, England.

2nd is Denise Carr (my web partner at www.flackgenealogy.com who recently added another 4 generations backwards to my now oldest Flack ancester - Henry Flack.

3rd is Olive Carter (my Mother). When I first started on my Family Tree, my mother said she couldn't help a lot really - but she'd try. But then she proceeded to reel of literally Hundreds of names on both sides of the family. Then we sat and looked through some photo albulms and she reeled off hundreds more. I do have to say that my mother (even at 79) has a better memory than large handfuls of computer RAM modules.
SO THANKS MUM.

Although this particular section is about my Oldest Flack Ancestors (Henry and Ann) and their Descendants - it is worth noting that at least other (currently) seperate Flack Families can be linked into THIS tree through various marriages.

This page gives links to the 23 seperate family 'Heads'.

I am in the process of putting together an interactive diagram so its easy to see where all the different families link in together.

I've made a start with the Diagram HERE.

The 1st page is dynamic - but onclick any box and it takes you to a static image. I have to make all the pages interactive - but its very time consuming and I have to try to get the rest of the main website finished first.

These Flack families link together through the Backler, Barker, Bell, Burling, Brown, Churchman, Flitton, Hyner, Ison, Mallyon, Manning, Mansfield, Mynott, Preston and Shipp families.

I hope you find this particular tree usesfull (it stretches for miles at times if you go sideways as well).

If you can add anything to it, or correct it in any way, then I would be most happy to hear from you.
