Hi and Happy Holidays to all, I have found a bit more on our lost Kellys since I posted to the list, and some of what I thought I knew turns out to be incorrect. First, we have 1. WILLIAM D.1 KELLY was born in Ireland. He married MARY CASEY OR COREY, also b. Ireland. Child of WILLIAM KELLY and MARY COREY is: 2. i. MICHAEL C.2 KELLY, b. 04 June 1855, Elgin, IL or St. Paul, MN; d. 04 October 1920, Greenwood, Cass Co., NE. Generation No. 2 2. MICHAEL C.2 KELLY (WILLIAM D.1)1 was born 04 June 1855 in Elgin, IL or St. Paul, MN, and died 04 October 1920 in Greenwood, Cass Co., NE. He married MARY KELEHER2,3, daughter of PATRICK KALAHER and NORA NESTOR. More About MICHAEL C.

EDWARD3 KELLY, b. Greenwood, Cass Co., NE. Notes for EDWARD KELLY: was attending Notre Dame University in 1920 Endnotes 1. Certificate of Death NE # 11155. 2. Certificate of Death NE # 11154. 3. History of the State of Nebraska, A. T. Andreas, 1882. Connected to this family somehow is . MOLLY1 FITZGERALD was born in Ireland. She married WILLIAM KELLY, b. Ireland.. Notes for WILLIAM KELLY: May have died in Colorado working in the mines. Child of MOLLY FITZGERALD and WILLIAM KELLY is: i. MARY THERESA2 KELLY1, b. 23 October 1888, Greenwood, Cass Co., NE; d. 27 November 1964, Omaha, Douglas Co., NE; m. CHARLES LEROY WHITE. More About MARY THERESA KELLY: Cause of Death: bleeding gastric ulcer w/ pneumoniti & CHF Endnotes 1. Certificate of Death, Nebraska #64 12865. Mary Theresa is listed as the daughter of Michael and Mary, and claimed to be the daughter of William and Mary, with Mary marrying her brother in law Michael after the death of her husband. She was raised by Mary and Michael, and was undoubtably related to them, but we're just not sure of the connection yet. It is probable that Michael and William were brothers, perhaps twins. There were probably other children in each of these families, except that of Mary and Michael, who raised only Mary Theresa and Edward. Thanks for wading through all of this, I hope we find some other branches of this tree. Happy Holidays, Jo Newkirk-Hornecker
