Just a word here.......It is my understanding that our Kelly family was O"Kelley in Ireland, Kelley here in many records. It is said that my grandfather Marcus L Kelly is the maverick that dropped the second E. Some disagree but it is an example of what you can expect in research.

H, 10th Indiana Cavalry, U.S. CivilWar Date: Monday, December 07, 1998 9:07 PM Just want to remind everyone, since reading Greg's message, that this list IS for the KELLY surname, as well as KELLEY, O'KELLY and even KELLIE. This list was created in January 1996 for KELLEY and any spelling variation, as described in the RootsWeb surname list. In my own family we have the name spelled both ways (KELLY and KELLEY) and some records even have the name spelled both ways on one record. Greg, you may just find your connection right here on this list. Happy Hunting!
