The Flanigan family is Irish and Bohemian. My great-great grandpa John Flanigan came from Ireland, and first settled in Chicago.
He eventually moved to Duquesne, Penn., to work in a steel mill. My great-great grandma Nettie was from Windsor, Canada.
My other great-great grandparents, Joe and Mary of my grandfather's maternal side, came from Bohemia.
This country bordered Germany on the eastern side; it is now part of the Czech Republic.
This side of the family was considered either Bohemian or German. They spoke both Bohemian and German languages.
The Sechrist and Chamberlin family is of English decent.
