I am just starting on my genealogy. My grandfather is Clyde Keller and he was born in Spencer, Indiana in Owen County. He was born on March 1, 1907. His father's name was Otis and his mother died while giving birth to him. I was wondering if you had any information that would assist me in my search. ----- Original Message ----- From: kateb <kateb@xelnet.com> To: <KELLER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2000 9:56 PM Subject: Re: [Keller] KELLER/KELLEHER > Robert, I would be happy if I could find out who the parents of my gg > grandfather Riley KELLER would have been.
