The surname Flave is found in only a handful of people in the United States (about 4 or 5 others that I know of - my direct relatives). However, I recently found out that in Huron County, there is a plot of graves with the name "Flave." I believe that these may be some of my ancestors, and I was hoping you could help me out by looking up "Flave" in some of your books (perhaps the Plat book or the Ohio Marriages). According to my research, a Joehana (sp?) Flave and a Mary Flave came over from Ireland in the mid 1800's and moved somewhere in Huron County. One of their children, John, I believe is my great great grandfather. I was hoping you could briefly check a few of your resources and let me know if you find anything! Thank you so much! I appreciate it! >> For Dan Flave-Novak. Hi Dan, Here are the FLAVEs I found in our Huron County, Ohio publications, including several you named. Unless otherwise indicated, all publications are by HCC/OGS. If my calculations are correct, it appears these findings might double the number of known FLAVES in the U.S. 1.
