I found this looking for Kelly's for my sister in law. This may help this person find information, oddly I have found information thru the Galveston Daily News that I would never have thought. It surprises me to have lived in Galveston thirty nine years and then leave the area to find it played such a large part of history as being a port. Of course this doesn't mean they stayed there any length of time but is may have some importance. Have a good day Deb Ancestral Endeavor by Michael A.
