Six sons and daughters of Conrad Fleckenstein and Maria Salome Bott emigrated from their birth city of Klein Blankenbach in the Kahlgrund region of Franconia, Bavaria in the mid-1800s. They initially came to Bradys Bend, Armstrong Co., PA but within a few years they all settled on the south side of Pittsburgh, once a separate town called Birmingham. Their known descendants now total over 3,000. Both Conrad and Salome had Fleckenstein ancestry, and we have been able to trace their Fleckenstein and related lines back to the late 1600s/early 1700s.

A very extensive website on Fleckenstein family origins was put together but is no longer online. The author used the Google translation capability to present his work in English (with uneven results. My translation attempts to make several of the more interesting parts of the website easier to understand.
