The following was posted to the KELLEHER GenConnect Board by Peg Kelleher Lary at <laryfarm@mint.net> on Wed, 20 Oct 1999. I came across it today. I am subscribed to the mailing list for this spelling and there is basically no traffic there. I am wondering if this could be another, variant spelling of the KELLER/KELLAR Irish surname. If anyone knows, please post an answer (or speculation) to the list. If you connect with Peg, you'll probably have to post that directly to her since I do not find her address as being subscribed to either the KELLER or KELLAR list. Leslie (Bridges) Kohler cc: Peg Kelleher Lary Surname: Kelleher, Madden, Donahue, Cronin Looking for brothers of my G.G.Grandfather. His name was James. He had 3 known brothers, John, Daniel, and Michael. Their parents were John and Joann Madden Kelleher. They came from Curelahey Parish of Clondrohid, near Macroom, Co, Cork Ireland. The 4 brothers left Ireland around 1840-1845. Parents remained in Ireland. Brothers ended up in Bangor and Orono Maine. Michael changed spelling of name to Keliher, and went to Illinois around 1850. James stayed in Bangor area. We have found Michael's decendents, and have James' decendents, would love to find Daniel and John relatives. Anyone who believes that they have a Ireland to Maine to mid-west connection, please contact . Thank you.
