Hello Mr Kelly and I thought I was the one and only.
Joe to be honest with you I really don't know much about the Paternal side of my Family.
Moms side is Buckley and O' Mahony from Bandon Cork.
My Dads mother's maiden name is Mc Cabe from Ballina Mayo. Unfortunately my Dad has no living relatives.He believes his Great Grandfather Peter Kelly came over to USA after the famine circa 1850-55 to Philadelphia Pa. He has been trying to research his Kelly roots but it's been tough since Kelly as you know is a very common name. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful,but I must say it's kind of fun hearing from your namesake. Lol. Good Luck on your quest. If I do uncover any Kelly family mysteries I will be sure to pass it along to you!
All the best to You Joe and all my Kelly family wherever they maybe.
