My Brother Rick Flinchbaugh lives in New York
Pennsylvania Sunrise Fall of 2001, somewhere near Somersetall,
My friend Dick Reinhold lives in Leverkusen, Germany.  He is the one that got me headed on the right path, what town to search in Germany for our German Roots!  With his regular fall visits to the US I find that there is much for me to learn about genealogy.(smile).
Elaine Lutz Hase
Elaine lives in Tennesee, (originally from Pennsylvania)  Elaine helped me see how the Flinchbaugh name was changed from the spelling of Flinspach.  She was also kind enough to introduce me to Kuno Krieger from Germany.
Kuno Krieger and  friend is from Leingarten Germany, he searched the records in Grossgartach now Leingarten Germany and the church records in Lauffen.   All of our earlyGerman Flinspach ancestors came from these two towns. Kuno had to be able to read the old German language and Latin.  He was able to do this and and give us a complete report all the way back to about 1500..
Steven Geisler from York Pa.  Steven has many years of research in the York Co area, and has helped us many times when we got stuck.  Now we've been able to add much more to our famly genealogy because of what he had in his records...

Glenda helped me with lots of the Backel family genealogy, I still have to tie up some lose ends but thanks to her I  have the right places to search.
