Well, the furthest my Kelly line goes back is to John MacKelley b 1687 in Scotland d 1751 in Scotland m Susannah s John Kelly Kelley , grandfather of Asa Peter Kelly, a troubled little lad who would probably like my husband, his many times over great grandson. On a more personal note, I'd like to find my sixth grade teacher, Alex Kelly and thank him for his kindness. He pulled his retirement money out of the teacher's system in the 70's and did not go back to teaching. He'd be about retirement age now, but I've thought of him often over the years. -******************
