Surnames: McNAMARA - PHELAN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RkG.2ACEB/262.2 Message Board Post: I have a John McNamara living at 242 Mulberry St. 1898-99 ( I'm sure of those 2 years at least ) he was listed as the person to contact by my G Grandfather John Phelan while serving in the Spanish American War. John Phelan was a NYC fireman before he enlisted. I want to find John McNamaras relatives because I know nothing about him. Was he related? Another fireman? A friend? I'm curious... Please contact me if you have any info. All my Phelans were living in the Harrison/Kearny area.
