Most likely Florence descends from the Melchior Flinchbaugh family of York County, PA - almost all Flinchbaughs do.I don't see your Florence on the compilation of Steve Geisler:

http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/g/e/i/Steven-C-Geisler/ODT2-0001.htmlso probably she comes from a branch that moved to Ohio from Penna.If you are sure Flinchbaugh was her maiden name and she was born in Ohio, I would start with the 1890 census and try to find her listed with her parents, and once you have her father's name, go back to the 1870 or 1860 census, depending on how old he was on th 1890 one.Also check for his name against Geisler's list but you may find the Ohio immigrant back further than her father.If you're not sure that Flinchbaugh is the maiden name, you might want to request a copy of her death certificate first.Good luck!LindaMore Replies:
