I subscribed to the Phelan web site looking for my g.g. uncle John Whalen. He came from County Waterford in the late 1850s. probably. His parents were John Whalen and Mary Powers. His brother Martin Whalen is my g grandfather. Martin married Ellen Powers. Martin may have come into the U.S. from Canada. Martin settled in N.Y.S. in a little hamlet called Pearl Creek,in Covington Town, Wyoming county. John supposedly settled in Perry N.C. but I have not been able to find any Whalen's there other than a Barney Whalen and I can't get his mailing address. If any one can be help I would really appreciate it. Jann Whalen Parks
