My ancestors, Johannes & Anna Flinner arrived in Philadelphia in 1754. Their children
stopped using the Flinner spelling in the 1770s, so if you're looking for a family who
has used the Flinner surname later than that time period, you probably need to check out
the Ohio Flinners who arrived in America sometime in the early to mid 1800 period. That
line continues to use the Flinner spelling. I've never found out what the connection
is between the two groups. Mine lived in PA., MD., and as early as 1773 in VA. Where did
your grandmother live and what time frame?
