... and a Happy Thanksgiving to you all from Phoenix, AZ, USA. Just got back from a family gathering here. All the cousins I saw today are descended from Patrick D. Kelly, baptized in Allihies parish 6 Nov 1836 and moved with his widowed mother to Wisconsin, USA about 1848. My aunt is one of the last of P D Kelly's grandchildren, and was raised on the farm he established in Iowa. Kevin P.
