Hi Phelan researchers, Believe John and I have corresponded before and we are cousins <g>. If anyone is interested in our line of Phelan's, which did include several Pierce Phelan's, they can go to my web site and look at my Phelan Genealogy report. This is for FREE use for any Phelan researchers, however I do ask that any of my material not be included in any site that one has to pay to view. I am a firm believer that all of my work of almost 27 years, should be freely given and one shouldn't have to pay to view it. Otherwise feel free to download what you want. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~makaylor/index.html Mary Ann >Hi John, >My grandfather and his father, my great grandfather were both named Pierce >Phelan. I don't know anything about great grandfather Pierce except that he >was godfather to my dad, Herbert Phelan Sr. who was born in Peekskill New >York. The older Pierce I think lived in New York City since he married a >Brooklyn woman named Julia Lang. I don't know his place of origin but I think >he would have been born around the early to mid 1860's. >The younger Pierce was an iron moulder who died young of lung problems and >left a widow and 3 small children, one of whom was my dad. I think he was born >and raised in New York City since his wife was from there. He would have been >born on or a couple of years before 1890. >I'd sure like to explore this a bit further.
