Hi Cousins! Great news! Cle' you have a cousin who just proved that I am in the family! He is Lucien Debuys O'Kelley. lukeokelley@comcast.net See e-mail below. Thank you cousin Luke! Sherry and I are glad to meet you! Luke's father was James Phares O'Kelley, MD. Cle', perhaps you already know Luke. My DNA match to Luke proves that I am descended from Thomas Manley O'Kelley, brother of John Beattie O'Kelley, who was Luke's great grandfather. My first common ancestor with Luke is John Francis Marion O'Kelley (aka: John O. Kelly; aka "Old man Kelly") Old man Kelly is buried in Bradford County Fla. Luke, we plan to visit JB Kelley in Lake Butler, Fla again this week. If JB is well enough, he wants to visit "Old Man Kelly's" gravesite and attempt to uncover his gravestone which has fallen over and become buried in leaves and debris. JB is full of stories about our old Kelly patriarch, John O.Kelly. He was our great great grandfather! Is there anything any of you would like me to ask JB? Last month I helped JB take a DNA sample for the Kelly project and that sample should show another match for us very soon. Again thank you Luke. Unknowingly you have proved my family history!
