Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CYm.2ACIB/3121 Message Board Post: I'm looking for any information on my greatgrand parents, John Logan Kelley and his wife Florence Alena Harper. They had two children in Strom Lake, Buena Vista, Iowa. My grandmother Ruth Mannilla Kelley born 12 Mar.1898 and her brother Thomas Leroy Kelley born 21 Dec. 1895. Ruth and Thomas married a brother and sister in the Dutton family. I think this Kelley family lived in IA. moved to Utah then to Idaho falls, Idaho. I also think they were L.D.S. I only know my greatgrand parents names, I can't seem to find out much more about them. Our family tree is very short on the Kelley side. Any information will be helpful and welcome. Thank You.

I'm looking for some information about my great grand parents. I seen your message about a Kelley family in IA. My grandmother Ruth Mannilla Kelley was born 12 Mar.1898 in Storm Lake, Buena Vista, Iowa. She had a brother that was also born in Storm Lake, Iowa. His name was Thomas Leroy Kelley, born on 21 DEC 1895. Their parents (my great grand parents) were John Logan Kelley and Florence Alena Harper. I have never been able to find out anything else about them. The Kelley part of my family tree is looking kind of short. I also know that my grandmother and her brother married a brother and sister of the Dutton family. My grandmother and he brother lived with their families in Idaho Falls, Idaho. I'm not sure how the Kelley's came to Idaho, but they mite have been in Utah before. Did Floyd John Kelley have any brothers or cousin ? I would be thankful for any help in adding to my Kelley family tree.

I do have detailed info on many of the HAMBERGER descendants of the early 3 Hamberger families that came to central Pennsylvania from Baden, Germany. Two brothers (Joseph F. HAMBERGER & Charles F. HAMBERGER) came around 1850-1855 from Herbolzheim, Baden, Germany to Pennsylvania. Also a close cousin, Louis HAMBERGER, came around 1851 from Herbolzheim to Pennsylvania. By 1880 these three families were all living around the Clinton County, PA area. I have many of their descendants that lived in the Clinton and Lycomings County, PA areas. I didn't see an Elizabeth HAMBERGER that married a KELLEY. Do you have any other info on Elizabeth? When about was she born and where did she live?
