    1. Princess Grace Patricia Kelly of Monaco
    2. Ron Wike
    3. I've a Kelly in the family and thought it would be fun to see if there may be any connection with Grace's family. After all, wouldn't it make one "giddy" if they actually found someone in their family who was a famous person? So you can brag to your friends that you are actually related to "so-andso"? Anyway, after spending a week on the internet, searching into nocks and cranies, I've come up with hardly anything on her family. Did come across only one person out there who seems to think they have a connection, and I'm not sure, but I believe this person is in Europe, since the page was in German and English. I even went to the "Moraco" home page and about the only thing it showed was her parents - John "Jack" Brendan Kelly, born in Philadelphia PA on 4OCT1889 and Margaret Maier/Majer, born in Philadelphia PA, in 1899. I also have come up with a few other minor pieces of info, such as at lease two birth years for Grace (1928 and 1929, 12NOV), three birth years for Jack (1889, 1890 and 1891), a marriage date of 1924, and that Jack was a two time Olympic sculling champion and also served on the Civilian Defense - physical fitness Program Board/Committee??? So if anyone out there is related, or even thinks they are related, send me an email. Seems odd to me, that someone so famous, can have so few relatives, or at least relatives who don't seem to want the world to know they are relatives. So, lets see whose out there?!?! Marsha
