This page documents the contribution of a complete Flickinger family GEDCOM file to the MyCousins.org project and summarizes how that data has been preserved and used.
Barry Flickinger serves as his family’s genealogist and generously provided a complete GEDCOM copy of the Flickinger Family Tree. John P. Elcik, IV used this file to update the MyCousins family tree one generation deep. The remaining data has been preserved in the project vault alongside other database backups.
Questions regarding the Flickinger GEDCOM may be directed to Barry Flickinger at barry.flickinger@yahoo.com.

Devon has not shared what she may have given up in exchange for this valuable file. We hope it was not the right to name their firstborn child. This editor has some experience in that arena and discusses the matter at length in MyCousins and on Ancestry.com. See the document titled “It’s All About the Name” for further commentary.
