All, I've been on the list from the beginning but haven't posted often. So here's my PHELAN info: PHELAN, Thomas b.ca 1833 probably Wexford, Ireland father: unknown, possibly William WHELAN of Haggard, Rathroe, Wexford mother: unknown married: circa 1855 to Bridget CUMMINS b.ca 1837, Haggard, Rathroe, Wexford; d/o John & Ellen CUMMINS died: 1880, New York City, NY, USA Immigrated: circa 1855 to Canada, location unknown Children: John Joseph, b.ca 1857, Canada, location unknown - died 1887 in NYC, unmarried, no descendents Mary Ellen, b.ca 1859, Canada, location unknown - died 1935, unmarried, no descendents Anastasia, b.ca 1862, Canada, location unknown - m.1888 to Wm. H. CARR, NY City - d.1901 NYC; Wm. H. CARR d.1904 NYC - Anastasia's 4 children were raised by Mary Ellen This family was in New York City by 1870. I know that Bridget CUMMINS is from Haggard, Rathroe, Wexford. Also, my grandmother (dau of Anastasia PHELAN) had as a baptismal sponsor, William WHEALAN. A review of Griffith Valuation Index shows one William WHELAN located in Haggard, Rathroe, Wexford. So it is possible that Thomas is from the same townland as his wife, Bridget. Any help with Thomas PHELAN's parents would be appreciated. I am also interested in locating the descendents of Anastasia's sons, Bill and "Joe" CARR. Thank you. Loretta
