    3. Marisa, Thank you for sending the information. Originally, I had been told that Anna had married Michael O'Brien first (IRE>NY) then John Kelley in San Francisco. However, I was puzzled by the fact that Jane (you have her listed as Jennie) looked substancially older than her O'Brien siblings in all the photographs I have. If your information is correct and she was married to John Kelley who died in NY then married (Mike?)O'Brien, this would explain why I have had one heck of a time finding John Kelley in San Francisco...hmmmm...On the other hand, Jane was born in California....interesting twist! However, I do have a picture of Anna Dowd(Doud) , Jane (Rodgers), Jane's son John Rodgers, and a man listed as "John Kelley" taken in Marin County, CA in 1913 (I think that's the date on the back, I would have to double check to be sure). So, it sounds like this John Kelley in the picture might be her older brother. I believe at least one of the Kelley brothers married and had children. I have another photograph that my grandmother identified as a John Kelley also. In the picture he is holding a violin. My grandmother said he was quite good and had played professionally somewhere in the Bay Area. As for D.L. Welty, this person submitted information on a Jane Sara Kelley Rodgers to the Native Daughters of the Golden West Pioneer Roster. He/she listed the source of information as a paper on "Early Kelley Family History". I figured he/she had to related in some way, and I would like to find out what other Kelley history they might be willing to share. Christine
