James Curtis Teal was adopted at birth (or very close) by John Rene McNulty and Elizabeth Turley McNulty and given the name John Paul McNulty (now Sr.)

Birth mother Jules Teal (Jewel Teel?) worked at Higgins Shipyard with Elizabeth and they met approximately 6 months into the pregnancy. James was the 5th child of Jules, who was an unwed mother and unable to care for him.

James is my biological father, and has been diagnosed with cancer... I seek this information for myself and my siblings, lest we lose the connection entirely.

Both Elizabeth (d. 1998) and John Rene (d.1974) were wonderful parents/grandparents and kept us aware of as many details as possible. Please contact me with any information you are willing to share.

Jules, if you are alive and do not wish further contact with any of us, I understand... But please help me keep the link to our family heritage.
