Teri:
I have a James Whalen and his wife Nora Carroll both from Ireland. They had a daughter, Kate, who married my great great great grandfather (James Purtell) in 1893 or 1894 (I have the dates at home).
James Whalen was made a US citizen in 1884. They are from Ireland but the paper work I received from Moris County on his naturalization does not list where in Ireland.
Kate, and her husband James Purtell, had 4 children. I have info on them if you need it. Do you think there is a connection. I have yet to check the 1900 and 1920 census on the Whalen family but I believe they lived in Morris Township. Decendents of the Purtell family still live in Morris County.
