Hello all,
I have just discovered that my Grt Grt Uncle Peter Paul Whelan was not a priest but the secretary at the French Embassy on the 1910 census whilst living in Washington district of Columbia.
Also on the 1900 US census he was working at the French Consulate but at this point was living in Philadelphia City.
I also found a ship record of him travelling back from France with his family to New York in 1915, which was either coming back from a secondment there or coming back from his wife's family as she was French.
My query is can anybody spot him on the 1920 and 1930 US census and where would I email to see if there are still records of his employment history with the embassy.
He died in New York in 1938. Born in Ireland 1874.
Many thanks
Danny
