Surnames: Killey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kFB.2ACI/1120.2.1.2.3.3 Message Board Post: P.S. They might not have been particular about name pronunciation, but the name was spelled K i l l e y -- though most of us would answer to any pronunciation simply because it was easier than explaining it a hundred times! <grin> The name is pronounced KILL ee. Though there is a branch related 'way back' that pronounces it KIE lee and also Kelly within the same family. But yes, the guys mentioned in your email belong to my family. What business did the family own, in Auburn? Was it Ron & Hulda, or was it Carl who owned a business? Or another Killey?
