Dr. B. C. Holtzclaw in the Dedication of Germanna Record No. 5 mentions both Mr. Ernst Flender and Mr. Emil Flender.  It was Mr. Emil Flender's "scholarly research and untiring efforts" that led to the completion of this volume.  I quote Dr. Holtzclaw--he gave credit where credit was due.  I really wish I had had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Holtzclaw. Germanna Record No. 5 does not correct all the errors in The Holtzclaw Genealogy (Germanna Record No. 14).  It does correct some--at least partially.  I still wish he had documented his research better--in both volumes.
