I am of a diverse multicultural background. I have been made aware that the origin of the Flack family experience best recorded here on the US east coast goes as follows;Two Irish brothers upon relocating to a new,yet familiar landscape-Western North Carolina-embarked upon a new beginning with the establishment of a plantation in the Great Smokey Mountains.My roots,of record begin here.My Grandmother,Corrine simply called her grandmother"Granny" as did everyone else,so i don't have any direct information except the knowledge that "Granny" had a daughter named Carrie Flack who died when my Gramma was just six years old which would have been in 1931 as my Gramma is 84 to date.Utilizing the(Asheville,NC) local ancestry archives we have been able to validate this information as well as other birth, death, and marriage information pertaining to the town now known as weaverville, NC as it relates to we Flack...however, as it was a common occurance,there was a fire in"Ye Olde Hall Of Records" that destroyed any slave origin information as well as vital property history including "freedmen". Its been said that most of the slaves shipped to this particular region eminated from West Afrika. Many of my ancestors of this time period, to which i refer were involved in family relations interwoven throughout the local native american populus and the plantation owners themselves. We are of a myriad of hues ranging from lightest caucasoid to medium dark negroid. I have a wonderful bronze myself(humbly).My mother is what is commonly considered,high yellow and my Grandmother still maintains the native american dark red tone. My mother has a classically considered,"fine" proboscis but Grammas got a nose more like an afikan. We all are quite tall and most start out lanky to develop into Amazon females and Near gladiator size males post puberty. When i encounter people with thick backgrounds including just one of my three major components of culture,I have found that my ancestry is clearly "written on my face".I am always told by native Irish that i seem familiar to the people of a certain mountainous region in Ireland that mimics The Great Smokey Mountains of WNC (vast,misty,&heavy vegetation). Those of Senegalese background say that my tendencies and personal cultural mannerisms mimic that of the FULA tribe,(Fulani)who emulate from the mountains in the westernmost parts of Senegal. I once had a job that called for contacting a list of patrons upon which i saw a Flack.when communications opened my greeting was,"well hello cousin",this is when i found out,from a caucasian relative that having taken into consideration, my limited information and proper spelling of Flack(w/no "s"),WE are Irish. If any relevant questions or information is to be discussed concerning this branch of Us,contact me.-
