Hi Polly! It's great to find another direct descendant of my great- grandparents, Simon & Katherine Flach. I am in contact with descendant's of Joseph, Amelia, John, Thresia, Katherine, Alois, and Clara Elizabeth. I also am in touch with some of your great granddad's (Lawrence) relatives from his marriage to Cecelia Stroh (your granddad's mom). I have not been in contact with Linda, but I wonder if she has been in contact with Wendy Corcoran?? I think I've seen some correspondence from "a relative in Iowa"! Anyway, I am very happy you contacted me. I would be interested in knowing your mom's name (so I can add you on my Tree:-) & am always begging for information and pictures of any kind. Please contact me at
jacnet@daktel.com . I look forward to getting to know you!

PS - Phillip is off John Flach's (brother to Simon Flach Sr.) line. We all share a direct relationship with their father, Protasius Flach.
