I am David VeLar, the grandson of Jean VeLar-Pettway. Jean VeLar is one of four sisters, two of whom I know, Rita Laura. She's really known as "Mamma Jean". I am vaguely aware of two other sisters and perhaps a brother but I am not for certain. We live in Detroit, but Jean was from Pittsburgh and moved here around the WW2 period. Another note is that many of us in our family spell VeLar with the "L" as capital. Some of our ancestors include another Jean VeLar of France, Nathaniel VeLar of ???
Georgie VeLar and Adolph VeLar were Jean's parents.
Any relatives should e-mail me so we can build a more comprehensive family tree.
