Just throwing this out there too. Jeff Flakes great great grandfather Mormon pioneer William J. Flake co founded the town Snowflake, Az. It was founded in 1878 by Erastus Snow and William Jordan Flake, Mormon pioneers and colonizers. Does anyone remember the movie " Fire in the Sky " the story takes place in Snowflake. Heres a link from a LDS slanted perspective on the movie about a UFO abduction link

Edit added quote from article "A high percentage of Snowflake residents are descended from the original settlers. There have been times when Flakes and other Snowflake founding-family names have filled nearly every position of power and status in the county."

Common in all the many Mormon settlements throughout Utah, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho where Brigham Young called a handful of families to settle a particular area. These settlements dotted the west and grew into towns. Most everyone is related even today in the smaller towns.
