>From Mike Kelly Kelly Clan Ass'n profned@bigpond.com Just a small tip. To calculate a rough date of birth of your William subtract 29 from the DOB of his eldest child. In this case that woud be 1824. The figure 29 is an average of three generations per century and 25 years per generation. This figure was given to me by the Genealogical Office in Dublin. Of course, this is an average and allowances must be made for early marriages, late marriages and, maybe the data doesn't give the correct order of birth.
