• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: All Sources from this point down rely on her father John N Flacks 'Will' and Elizabeths married name being Johnston. I started the search in 1860 and1870 Cedar County but there seemed a few choices and how to tell which was which. Also a few Johnston/Johnson name variations to contend with too. I picked the most likely and managed to trace the 1st son (Robert) back to the 1925 Iowa State Census which showed his mother was called ELIZA FLACK and father called JOHN JOHNSTON. I therefore have a very high degree of confidence about this leg of the tree. Jim Flack - 22 May 2007.
