Hi Rita, There must be a match out there somewhere. I am surprised at the DNA diversity of our Group so far. No on else in the group is even close to mine (31374). I found that my loci is exclusive to the Vikings. I was a little skeptical until I delved deeper into the History of Ireland and discovered the Vikings did not just come to Ireland to loot and pillage. They colonized many areas starting about 800 AD and controlled the City of Dublin as a Viking Fort for more than a hundred years. In a Book on the History of Surnames it stated that when some families assumed Surnames in Ireland around 1400 AD that at least 7 families in different areas of Ireland adopted the Surname KELLY. This doesn't include the Isle of Man and other islands off the coast. Getting us tied to the right Family group may take a while.

Born about 1615 in England and died 28 Dec 1644 in Newbury, Mass. Thanks so much. I am now waiting to hear the results of Roger Kelley of the Isles of Shoals fame. Maybe he will be the one who matches my William. So far I have had no luck !!!!! Rita in Ks.

The URL for this site is: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/kelley/ To put these results on our Webpage which is hosted by rootsweb, I have to copy and paste the results from the FTDNA page into Excel and then edit the results before uploading them to our Webpage. Our Webpage URL is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kellydnaproject/index.htm I only upload to our Webpage when I have more than one Test complete, because it is a tedious process and it usually takes two or three attempts to get it correct. Could you give me Clif Kelley's earliest known ancestor so that I can include it on the Chart. Thanks, Raymond Kelly I cannot find the results for kit number 40575 which the Family Tree DNA >group said was posted on our Kelley DNA family site. Am I looking in the >wrong place ir just not looking. I find all the other Kelleys. Thanks >Rita
