My most wanted is Mark KELLEY, born 1830 in Danube, Herkimer County, New York. Served in the New York 117th Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. Married Catherine York June 1865 in Clinton NY. Any help would be appreciated. Ed Berger Poway, CA edberger@ixpres.com

This is an interesting subject lately since there are so many "bleeding hearts" out there more than ready to forgive anyone for anything, no matter whether they have asked for it or not! Maybe we should not be so eager to forgive...until we hear a person actually apologize and admit they did something wrong. It took Clinton almost a year to admit he did anything wrong. The person who posted the "inapropriate joke" has admitted no wrong and has not asked for forgiveness. You could be wasting valuable empathy, sympathy, and "open arms" for a prodigal who hasn't come home! Now...please forgive me for wasting the Kelley list's time, I really do want to get back to geneology.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE I am looking for the Family Tree Maker site where I am told that a Marriage date of July 10,1782 is given in Guilford Co.,NC for John Kelly and Hannah Moon. I have been unable to locate this site. Can you Kelley Researchers help me out. Thanks, Raymond Kelly REVISED MESSAGE I need to clarify my earlier request. I bought the Family Tree Maker, 10 CD Deluxe Set and searched all those CD`s and then went to the Family Tree Home Page Online and have been searching those sites/pages in Family Finder, World Family Tree, User Home Pages, etc. So far I have been unsuccessful. The Marriage Date would almost surely have come from some dedicated Moon Researchers Home Page. I am hoping to get directions to the right Family Tree Maker User Home Page as a result of this post. My search of The Family Finder alone yielded over 2000 hits on John Kelly. As a novice Family Tree Maker User I see it is going to take an awful long time without outside assistance. Best Regards, Raymond Kelly

Anyone who apologizes or asks for forgiveness must receive it. It is our duty to forgive. If we do not, than we are more wrong than anyone no matter what the issue. It takes love and trust to ask for forgiveness. A sign one is willing to learn and grow. It also takes love to forgive. And, love is good. So I forgive.

This is in reference to the posting: "I thought this cute" ... The reason for the existence of the KELLEY - KELLY list is to discuss genealogical problems relating to the surname, occurring at any time and in any place. Please keep in mind that everything that is posted to the list is saved in the KELLEY List Archives. It isn't a joke list. There are other lists for that purpose. That is not to say that researchers don't have a sense of humor. Of course they do. Let's stick to the purpose of the list...and remember, tread carefully when dealing with any KELLEY descendant. We all know the ancient meaning of KELLY: warlike. :) Please...no more "me, too!" postings, either. Thanks.

Please forgive me. Linda Mcdowell

Dear Beloved Kelley cousins: I agree about the inappropriate joke. I get hundreds of such jokes every month sent to me by others as standard Email, but they are directed to me...not a whole list of people. I can laugh at them, share them, or trash them. The next time you share a joke PUBLICLY, picture yourself in a room with 5,000 people. Is this a joke you would tell to a few friends in a corner, or broadcast by microphone to the entire group, from the stage...with everyone watching you? The same rules apply to the Internet...you don't know all those people, so don't pretend you know their taste in jokes! It's lonely on that stage when you blow it!

I really thought it was inappropriate also. Read the first two lines and that was more than enough for me. Joyce Kelley

Sorry, but I find "I thought this was cute" HIGHLY OFFENSIVE and totally inapprorpiate for the Kelly list!!! Wonder if you'd find it so amusing if it were about you Irish ancestors? I'm no prude, but the language is also highly inappropriate for this list.

My mother-in-law gave me this many years ago and I was going thru things tonight and found it and thought I would post this to the list. Ona my firsta day inna America I go outa to eata breakfast. I aska the waitress for coffee ana two pisses of toast, but she bringa me only one poss. I tella her I wanna two piss. She tella me toa go to the toilet. I tella her she no understand. I wanna two piss ona the table. she tella me "You better not wanna piss ona the table you sonna bitch" I justa met her ana she calla me a sonna bitch. After that I goa out ana decide to lata bunch. The waitress bringa me a knif ana spoon but no fock. I tella the waitress I wanna fock. she tella me "Everyone wanna fock." I tella her she noa understand me. I wanna fock ona table. she say You better not wanna fock ona table, you sonna bitch." I decida to go backa to my hotel. I finda that my bed hasa only onea sheet. I tella the manager I wanna sheet. He tella me toa go toa the toilet. I sana "You noa understand me. I wanna sheet ona my bed." He tella me "Youa better nota sheet ona the bed, you sonna bitch." I walk outa the door anna someone saya "Peace on youa," Soa I saya "Pissona you, you sonna bitch" tomorrow I go back to Italy. dkelly@nebi.com -- [This message was sent using an evaluation copy of IMail Server for Windows NT, a product of Ipswitch, Inc.]

I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared; The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared, The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please." As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt And prepared once again to do battle with dirt--- I said to myself, as I only can "You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!" So--away with the last of the sour cream dip, Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip Every last bit of food that I like must be banished "Till all the additional ounces have vanished. I won't have a cookie--not even a lick. I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick. I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie, I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry. I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore--- But isn't that what January is for? Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.

ISO of anyone with knowledge of the Felix McManus KELLY, born abt. 1874 Texas d. bef. 1952. He married a Jennie, maiden name unknown b. Louisiana abt. 1878. They were married date unknown but, should have been at least prior to 1904. At least one daughter is known, Gladys born in 1904. ISO of anyone with knowledge of Charles William KELLY, born abt. 1876 in Texas death unknown. He married a Lillie Belle, maiden name unknown, also born in Texas abt. 1879. Marriage date unknown. At the time of the 1920 Census there were no children found on the census. Felix and Charles are found in the Fayette County, TX 1880 Census with parents and siblings. They are both again found with wife or wife and child 1920 Los Angeles County, CA Census. I am pretty sure they both were railroad men with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. After 1920 they could have gone just about anywhere, as well as could have been anywhere prior to 1920. They most likely were not in the service of the railroad after 1937. They are not listed on the Railroad retirement boards files.... I utilized Census records to glean the dates of birth and wife and child from. I only suspect their deaths were prior to 1952 because their brothers obit (my great-grandfather) didn't mention either name. It, however, does mention the brothers and sisters names who were still alive. If you have any information which may be of help please let me know...and may all of you have a safe and joyous holiday season.... Mike Kelly firewalker@gibralter.net

Hello I am new tho this list and I am looking for the parents of Mary Kelly b abt 1752 married Jeremiah Blackford before 1781. Family tradition says that the 6th child Jeremiah Kelly Blackford was born on the water as the family was migrating from New Jersey to Kentucky in 1791. I have a lot of information on the Blackford line but have nothing more that Mary Kelly's name. Any information or direction would be greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year.
