Hi Katherine,
I am in and out, since I have retired. Just leave a message if you can't reach me and I'll call you back.
Helen W. and William R. French, I believe had two children,
so you and I would be some kind of blood relatives. William would have been my fifth cousin. It sounds like your grandmother Adele had an unfortunate live, loosing both of the French children and her husband Emile. Hope she was happy after she remarried.

I do have lots of info about the Phalanx. Looking forward to sharing info with you.

Trish
