Hi, Kim, I did a search through the KELLEY List Archives: Mailing List Archives for the KELLEY list and other RootsWeb Lists: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl and found the below message. Hope this helps. Paula Paula Kelley Ward pward@express-news.net San Antonio, Texas "Genealogy is the art of confusing the dead and irritating the living!" ============================================================ Date: Mon, 7 Dec 1998 06:47:14 -0800 (PST) From: Muriel Smith <muriel@rica.net> <mailto:muriel@rica.net> To: KELLEY-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199812071447.GAA23423@bl-3.rootsweb.com> Subject: Another Kelly Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I am not sure what side of the family this Kelly is on but I have several old newspaper cuttings about a Father Kelly who died at sea on his way to visit his brother in Ireland. There was some discussion about whether he jumped or fell from the ship. Anyone have a Kelly who was a Catholic priest and died at sea in the late 1800's. ______________________________ - ---------------------------- On Tuesday, February 02, 1999 10:24 PM, Susan Hochstetler [SMTP:suzyQimmy@webtv.net] wrote: > Hi...I remember reading somewhere that a Kelley/Kelly coming to the US > or CAN either fell overboard or was picked up by a passing ship that > found him in the water.... <snip>
