I am reading and have subscribed to this list, because I think I might have a cousin on my mothers side who married a Phelan. I have such little information about my mothers family so I am kinda looking for a needle in a hay stack. When my mother passed away in her letters her brother wrote is a notation of a Catherine Phelan having passed away in New York City. I do not know the time frame. I believe her maiden name was Pretzer. There were only daughters in her family. 4 sisters I think. I know so little of my mothers family that I cannot offer much info. I am searching for them and maybe some descendants. Catherine Pretzer Phelan may have had sisters named Tillie, Olga, Her mother would have been named Hanna or Johanna, Mothers maiden name Johnk. Her father might have been Otto or August Pretzer. At one item they would have lived in Newport R. I. Maybe born there am not sure. My grandfather was Karl Johnk. If anyone on this list has this family would you please let me know thank you Cynthia Blalock

To all of my friends on this list, I changed my email address today getting ready for a move and change of internet service providers. My old email address of mmay@dhc.net will expire as of May 1st. The new email address above of chella_gen@yahoo.com is what I plan to use from now on for my genealogy research. I have already changed all of the subscriptions with Rootsweb, but I wanted my friends to have the new address. Michelle May __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi friends, A few weeks ago I sent out a notice of E-Mail change of address. My server company split in two and I was told that I was in the new group, thus the address change. Now it turns out that I am retained in the old group and therefore my address is the one I had previous to the split. Accordingly, please note my correct address. herbp@nstci.com Sorry about the confusion. Herb

I am searching for my grandfathers niece. I think her name was Catherine Pretzer before she married a Phelan. I only have reference to the name Phelan in a letter my uncle wrote my mother. she died in New York City. Do not know when or where. there are no male heirs that I can find to my grandfathers family. Catherine Pretzer Phelan would have been the daughter of Hanna Johnk and August or Otto Pretzer. she had 4 sisters. Tillie, and cannot remember the other names. I am not sure if they came from Rhode Island but think they might have, Cynthia Blalock
