Paul, June, Edward Gama of CA
I am trying to find any offspring. Their mother, Bessie Berry had a son William Linharris 7/15/1919 and gave him up for adoption 4/6/1920 in San Francisco. I am that son's daughter. Bessie went on to marry Philip Blennerhassett. She died in 1968.

Re: Paul, June, Edward Gama of CA
Hello! You are the 1st to somewhat confirm what I have suspected all along! Philip was married to Margaret Berry and then married her sister (my grandmother) Elizabeth "Bessie" Berry-Gama-Blennerhassett. If I could get my brother and one of Philip and Margaret's son's DNA compared, I bet it would confirm it! My dad was adopted out in 1920 under the name William Harris Berry. His adopted name was Phillip Yuille Black.
This is exciting news!!

Re: Paul, June, Edward Gama of CA
I am the only one that I know of.... Phillip had four childern, Phillip jr., David, my grandmother Dorothy, and William (Phillip). My grandmother has two sons Jack and Skip. Skip passed away leaving two childern. Jack had me my 1/2 sister Jennifer and 1/2 brother Jarrod. I'm not close to Jack and his new family, but have info on them if you need it. I'm having trouble with Phillip Sr. family...if you have info please let me know. I do have alot of info on Phillip Sr., Margaret and some on Bessie. Let me know how I can help you. Rachelle

Re: Paul, June, Edward Gama of CA
Hi Rachelle!Do you have a picture of Bessie or Margaret? Bessie was my grandmother. From what I have been told she wasn't a nice person and not liked by the family.
I've got a lot on the Blennerhassett connections and have found 1st cousins from the Berry/Gama connection. Just trying to find when and where Jamesina Fyfe came from Scotland and James Berry came from England. That's been an ongoing search for over 20 years! Robin email is comagick at aol.com

Re: Paul, June, Edward Gama of CA
Hi Rachelle, My grandparents were Margaret and Phillip Blennerhassett. Their son David Blennerhassett was my dad. My dad passed away in 1952. I was 4 years old. I don't remember them and don't believe that my mom very spoke with them after my father passed away. Do you have any information on Phillips parents. I am trying to work on my family tree. My fathers brother was Philip Blennerhassett Jr. When I was looking up information I wondered if my grandfather married his sister in law after Margaret passed away on Jan.10 1952 2 weeks before me father passed. I will check back on this site to see any updates.
