Hi, I know there are alot of KELLEY in Lockport, but I never have seen any connection. I would like more info on a John Kelley who married a Elizabeth Hicks. She was born abt 1830. I know they had a daughter named Mary Jane Kelley, Mary Jane married James E. Murtaugh in Middleport, New York, in 1871. I have the names of the children. But I don't have much on John Kelley and his wife Elizabeth and her parents. Thank for anything in advance. Theresa Carhart P.O. Box 755 Marlin, TX 76661 theresac@gte.net (main server) or TheresaGen@aol.com (only aol people)

If he recieved a 'Purple Heart' there is a group nationwide called the 'Order of The Purple Heart'. Try any American Legion or especially the Veteran's of Foriegn War Posts and they will bend over backwards to hlep you out. The 'Order' may even be on line. I imagine they are! talk with them. They may have records and ways to find him. Do you know what units he served in or the ship designation? I am quite sure each ship has a Reunion Organization as well as a historical organization who can surely help you. Hopefully this will help. When it comes to the military all kinds of ways to find people.... Take care and good luck....Mike MajikFoxy@aol.com wrote: > > This is kinda off the wall for the group but i need some help > here.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR RESPONCE. I'VE GOT SOME LEADS TO TRY OUT. IT DOES HELP TO HAVE ALL OF THE FRIENDS OUT THERE. THANKS, VICKI HAPPY HUNTING TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!! Now that shows you my ignorance, not onlyof the Irish but, of my own surname. I had never heard of such a thing before. I wonder what other sorts of things, Orders, etc. are out there I don't know about. Guess this is another thing to add to my list of research things to do.

I found the following info on a site dedicated to Scot and Irish Immigration in the 1700's. http://www.zekes.com/~dspidell/ulster.html "Most of this history is a direct paste from a review of the movie, "God's Frontiersmen" which was written by Rory Fitzpatrick. The movie was shown on Irish TV, edited, and sent to GFS Linda by an Irish cousin of hers from Belfast. The movie was then viewed and written up by GFS Linda for her forum on America On Line. She has gratiously shared it with me and given me her permission to use her material on this page. Orangemen = This name for the Scots-Irish comes from William III, Prince of Orange, and is kept because his victory over despotic power laid the foundation for the evolution of Constitutional Democracy in the British Isles. [O.K. Some of this rhetoric is rather radical, but that is the nature of the people.]"

This is kinda off the wall for the group but i need some help here. Would anyone know how to find a person who died in the Korean War, (in Korea) but was buried in Calif. I do not have his social and have hit a brick wall. The Navy said, they need his social, date of birth, place of death. Those are the things i don't have. All i have is his full name, what service, where he was killed, and he received a purple heart. Any help would ne greatly appricated. Thanks Vicki

Looking for Andrew Jackson Kelly that lived in the Montana area. He would have passed away after 1920 to present. I'm also looking for a Henry Kelly from Monroe County, Va. I can not find anything on him at all. Need help in finding him. He was married to a Catherine???? Thanks, Vicki majikfoxy@aol.com

Any information on this family greatly appreciated. Sharon pjdykes@duo-county.com

Mike, If I am not mistaken and remember my fathers teachings the Orange Order are men who remain loyal to the reigning monarch. My brothers and sister and I put on Orange one St. Patricks Day and sent him into quite a tither. Reading other people posts has triggered some other memories also. I remember my Grandfather saying that our name was Kelly because he was an old shanty Irishman and not an aristocrat while his father spelled his name Kelley. I also remember reading somewhere that the Kelly/Kelleys changed thier names because of religious persecution. Apparently they were not allowed to leave Ireland if it was spelled one way and not the other. If memory serves they removed the second e. Then put it back when they arrived here and were safe. I am, however, subject to senior moments so could be wrong. Maureen >OK......I will take the bait. Could you please expound on 'orange' Irish? >Where did the moniker come from? History of it?
