My family pronounced the name "flookey."
I was excited to read your reply about pronunciation because it included the lore about the tailor told me by my mother, Anne Fluckey Lindseth (1904-1995), daughter of Ray Elmer Fluckey (b. 1877 or so & d. 1957 or so).I don't have any real information about the family and would like any leads that I can save.My mother was born north of Chicago, moved to Findlay, Ohio, then to Cleveland where she attended HS and lived her life and where her father lived until his death.
Perhaps Adm. Eugene Bennett Fluckey is your close relative?My mother and father became acquainted with him by mail after publication of Thunder Below.They share a 2nd cousin, Mary xxxxxx with whom my mother corresponded.I'd like to know more.
