Rev David Vincent Phalen He was the son of Edward Phalen and Honora Ronan and a native of NorthSydney Cape Breton. Yes he was editor of the Casket from 1900 -1909. He wrote under the penname "David Creedon" I just received this info by e-mail. I inquired on it based on a bio on my own family priest, Fr. David S. Phelan where it stated he was a cousin of the above. Of notice also. Creedon is the maiden name of my Fr. David S. Phelan. Would anyone recognize these names? Chris Doehring St. Louis, MO

I'm working so a quick question to the Canadian Phelans: Are there any relatives of Rev. David Phelan who was the editor of the Antigonish Cabinet or Casket? I found a bio at lunch on my Fr. David Phelan and at the very end it mentions him as a cousin. Thanks, Chris Doehring St. Louis, MO

Mary, I'm going back to library this week. Will check out this census again and do some counting. Only problem is I'm not real sure about all his "chillins". After I get census info, I'll check back with the list and perhaps I can get some help and we'll do some counting and see what turns up.

Glenda - Re Jeremiah Phelan of PA He is one of my line - I have an 1830 census Vermillion County, IL. It is so bad even with a STRONG light and magnifing glasses I have never been able to count the children in the house hold. In 1840 they were ALL in Arkansas - Jeremiah, Jesse Evans, Thomas, etc. In the 1850 census Jeremiah is 73 and living with daughter Mary Cassiday in Prairie Township. Mary - in AZ

My great-aunt Ellen Connolly (one of ten children) from Co. Cork was married to Patrick Phelan, a policeman who a cousin in Ireland said had originally come from Tipperary. I believe they married after they both emigrated, although I could be wrong. He died in 1940, Ellen in 1944. I believe there were two sons, Martin and Joseph (not sure of the order), who may have been either adopted or Patrick's children from an earlier marriage. At the time of Patrick's death, the family was living on Woodycrest Avenue in the Bronx (NY). My father (now 80) remembers visiting his aunt Ellie when he was a boy. He also remembers a couple of children caddying for him when he visited later, probably in the late 1930's-early 1940s. He was not clear whether these were Martin and Joseph, the sons of one or both of them, or even possibly grandchildren of Ellen from an earlier marriage. Patrick supposedly took early retirement from the police force due to a gun incident which caused him to lose some of his hearing. Would there be a police archive in New York that might have more information? Patrick and Ellen are buried in Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Mt. Pleasant, NY, along with one of Ellen's sisters. There are no other interments, so the children must have gone elsewhere. Would anyone know the whereabouts of Martin and Joseph or any of their offspring, so I can fill in a few more blanks in the family tree? Thanks. Sheila Connolly

As everyone knows I have been searching for Evans Phelan to try and connect him to James Monroe Phelan. I have always noticed the name Evan Evans when doing research in Uwchland, Chester Co., PA. I saw a query on the Quaker mailing list researching this Evan Evans and I responded to it asking if he had a daughter named Mary. This researcher referred me to another researcher and I received the following message from him. I thought the other Phelan/Evan researchers might be interested in his reply. ============snip Hi, Regarding your e-mail today to Rosemary Shields, Mary Evans, the second daughter of Evan Evans, was probably born about 1719/20. She married William Clayton abt 1738 and later Isaac Marshall, according to my notes. It seems to me that the most likely name for the Thomas who married the Mary you are researching would be Whelan. Dennis Whelan was an oldtimer in Uwchlan. His daughter Phebe married Richard Evans, youngest son of Evan, abt 1763, and Richard is reported to have become a member of the Uwchlan Meeting 4 Dec 1777 (Cope and Furthey, p. 539). =========Snip

Is there anyone on list that has census info for Jeremiah Phelan (the one born 1777) for 1830 and 1840??? Curious to know if number of children shown, etc. match up with his known male and female children. James Monroe Phelan, born 1824 in Bledsoe Co.,TN, which is the same county where Evans (Jeremia's brother) sold land in 1828. My James Monroe seemed to be orphaned early on in his life and family legend says his father's name was Jerry. Now to get to the big question: Could the orphan, James Monroe, and his siblings have been raised in Jeremiah's home IF Evans Phelan was James Monroe's father. Perhaps the # of children shown for Jeremiah might be a clue for me. Thanks, Glenda Looking for any descendants of James Monroe Phelan's siblings: Jeremiah Phelan married to Mrs. Mary Ledbetter Ipsy Phelan married to John G. Caraker Dicie Phelan married to John Henderson Corzine Gidgeon G. Phelan married to Rebecca ? Rebecca Phelan married to Silas Jones Francis Phelan Berrymon Shepherd Phelan (Osage Mo resident)

The following recently came off of the Rootsweb mailing list. I thought it was a great reminder for things we often forget to do. Hope someone can benefit from it. ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE CEO, by Robert R. Tillman o REFLECTIONS OF A NEWBIE. If you are not a RootsWeb newbie, then you may wish to skip what follows. After almost seven months as CEO at RootsWeb, I would like to share with other newbies some lessons that I have learned. 1. Only a small fraction of genealogy-related information is on the Web. Most is in the form of books, documents (many hand written), photographs, microfilm and microfiche held by tens of thousands of libraries, genealogy societies, churches, local, state and national government archives, and other organizations. Much of the best information is located in the attics, file cabinets, book shelves and computers of millions of individual genealogists. If you are frustrated in searching the Web for genealogy information on the Web, there is good reason. Most of what you are looking for is not yet there. 2. The quickest way to make progress in genealogical research is to connect with someone who is further along or is more experienced than you are. I recently asked my father to document as much as he could remember about his family history. He surprised me by saying that he had just received from a distant relation a family tree printout containing details on 150 individuals in our line going back to 1850. This information likely will save me many weeks or months of research. 3. The primary purpose and function of RootsWeb is to connect people so that they can help each other and share genealogical research. Most resources on RootsWeb are designed to facilitate such connections. Genealogy on RootsWeb is a vast cooperative research project, possibly the largest group software application in existence. The hundreds of gigabytes of data on RootsWeb are a byproduct of millions of online genealogists sharing research. 4. The best ways for you to connect to others on RootsWeb are to ask for help, make it easy for others to find you, and give others help. Below are my suggestions for connecting to others on RootsWeb. All features cited below are free. o Join a mailing list at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/>. A mailing list is simply the e-mail party line. Every e-mail that a list subscriber sends to the list is distributed to all other list subscribers. There are more than 17,000 genealogy- related mailing lists on RootsWeb divided by surname, U.S. county and state, country, ethnic group, and topic. Subscribing to a mailing list is one of the best ways of connecting to people who share your interests. If you do not find a mailing list covering your topic of interest, start one at <http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/adoptrequest.html> o Post a message to a GenConnect message board at <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/>. A message board is a computerized version of the old-fashioned bulletin board. There are more than 140,000 message boards on RootsWeb related to surnames, locations, and topics. By posting a message to the appropriate message board, you create a record through which other researchers can find you. If you do not find a message board covering your topic of interest, start one at <http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/adoptrequest.html>. o Post your family surnames on the RootsWeb Surname List (RSL) at <http://rsl.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/rslsql.cgi>. The RSL is a registry of more than 788,000 surname entries that have been submitted by more than 165,000 online genealogists. Associated with each surname are dates, locations, and information about how to contact the person who submitted the surname. The RSL is one of the primary tools on RootsWeb that online genealogists use to contact each other. o Upload your family tree (GEDCOM file) to the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project at <http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/> The RootsWeb WorldConnect Project is a database of family trees submitted by thousands of RootsWeb researchers currently containing more than 14 million ancestor names. With your family tree posted here, other researchers with common ancestors can find you. o Add Post-ems to the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) at <http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi> and to the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project at <http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi> A Post-em is the electronic equivalent of a yellow sticky note. It allows you to attach your email address, a link to another Web address or other information to the record of any individual in these two databases. Search for your ancestors and leave your calling card attached to their names. o Build your own genealogy Web site on RootsWeb. Request free unlimited Web space on RootsWeb at <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/acctform.cgi> RootsWeb hosts more than 11,000 Web sites, most related to genealogy. Building a basic Web site is not as difficult as you might imagine. Millions of people have done it. You can get help from other RootsWeb Webmasters on the mailing lists and message boards devoted to this subject on RootsWeb. o Add a link to your Web site to RootsLink at <http://resources.rootsweb.com/~rootslink/search.html>. RootsLink is RootsWeb's Web address registry, where users can add and categorize a genealogy link from anywhere on the Web. Currently, there more than 4,000 links on RootsLink. o Link your Web site to the relevant surname, county, state, and/or country resource cluster at <http://resources.rootsweb.com/utilities/addsite.html> Thereafter, a link to your Web site will appear at the top of whatever surname, county and/or state resource cluster(s) you have chosen. Users specifically interested in the information on your Web site will see this link whenever they use the RootsWeb surname resources at <http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/> or the RootsWeb U.S. county and state resources at <http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA/> This feature is ONLY available for Web sites located at RootsWeb. o Volunteer. RootsWeb hosts many of the largest volunteer genealogy projects on the Web. Volunteers locate, transcribe, and publish genealogical data and help new users. Through this work they meet other genealogists with similar interests. Information on volunteer opportunities can be found at: USGENWEB ARCHIVES CENSUS PROJECT <http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/volunteer.htm> ========snip PERMISSION TO REPRINT articles from ROOTSWEB REVIEW is granted unless specifically stated otherwise, PROVIDED: (1) the reprint is used for non-commercial, educational purposes; and (2) the following notice appears at the end of the article: Written by <author's name, e-mail address, and URL, if given>.
