Surnames: Kennedy, Robinson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UGB.2ACE/87.143.1.1 Message Board Post: Teresa, Not a descendant, but could be related. My James R. Kennedy's father was Andrew Kennedy, born in Scotland about 1815, and lived in Donaghadee, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, when James R. was born there in 1845. James' obituary says that there were nine siblings but I have only found four: Esther, William C., James R. and Elizabeth (Eliza). I do know that in addition to James, William and Eliza also came to Dakota Co. and settled there. Eliza married a Robinson, a family who was also from Co. Down. Who was Daniel's father? Could Daniel have been descended from William C.? Am sure there must be a relationaship between your Daniel Kennedy and my James R. Kennedy somehow.

Dear List: My kids noticed a lot of death cert requests on another list (we share an email address). So........they started pulling death certs a few weeks ago for the Hennepin County List I'm on. My kids pull them at the Minnesota Historical Society (http://people.mnhs.org/dci/Search.cfm) and I am taking care of the email interface, all copy costs, sending them out, etc. [I don't want them to get sent to the wrong people or wrong address.] By the way, the Historical Society will pull them for you but charges $8 each (they have to pay the employees). We are willing to do this for people on this list but cannot guarantee when we will go next. It is a 35-45 min drive from our home and MHS parking charges are by the hour, so we are asking for $2.50/death cert. We do ask people to send payment and a SASE before we go and copy the certs. This will get the certs to people much more quickly since I will be able to mail them as soon as we get them. When I started this, I was worried that the database wasn't always accurate but it seems to be very reliable. If anyone on this list is interested: - Please send the name, county, date of death, and death cert ID # for each death cert from the MHS database. - Please put the words "Request for Minnesota Death Cert" in the subject line of your email. - Let me know if you are in Canada or another foreign country. - Please send the requests to us off-list so we don't clutter up the list. I will respond to each email so people are not left wondering, so please do not request it from me and someone else at the same time. Thank you. Carol & kids

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UGB.2ACE/635 Message Board Post: This is a compilation of information and family lore sent to me after I posted a query on another message board: Originating from Ireland, (probably Belfast), were two brothers, Charles Keeley and Frank Keeley, who both made their way to America. In the 1850s, Charles Keeley, apparently born in 1827, changed his surname to the more English-sounding “Small” in order to successfully immigrate without being turned back, a problem that people of obvious Irish heritage were experiencing. He traveled on a ship, “The Queen”. I’ve found mention of a ship of that name based in Quebec which sailed back and forth between there and the British Isles, but I’ve found no immigration lists associated with it, though there is notice of it arriving in Quebec on May 30, 1850 from a trip that had taken it through the port of Cork, Ireland, (that date would be about right for Charles’ arrival). Charles met his bride-to-be, Anna (or Ann) Masterson, (born 1833 in Cavin County, Ireland), whilst traveling on “The Queen” and married her the same year. Charles was naturalized June 7, 1887. Charles Small (Keeley) and Anna Masterson settled in Mendota, Dakota County, Minnesota, and had 8 children, James - (the eldest), Peter, Charles, Mary-Ann, Elizabeth, Margaret, Alice and Cecelia. The child Margaret used the “Keeley” surname while I’ve seen “Small” used in referring to James, Peter, Charles, Mary-Ann, Alice and Cecelia. Which leaves the child Elizabeth - I don’t know what surname she chose to use. The subsequent marriages of these children that I know about are: James Small wed Maria McNamara; Charles Small wed Elizabeth Fee; Mary Ann Small wed *unknown* McCahey; Elizabeth wed Milton Deem; Margaret Keeley wed William Thomas Cassidy; Alice Small wed Reinhart (or Rheinhart) Pagel; Cecelia Small wed Alphonse Beaudette (or Beaudet). I thought I had found a grave listing for Charles Small showing him passing away in 1911 in Mendota, Minnesota, but I can no longer find that in my notes to confirm it. Anna’s will was dated 1917 and all of this family is mentioned in it except her husband Charles and son James who had apparently passed on by that time. That other Irish brother, Frank Keeley, married Charles’ wife’s sister Alice Masterson and they had settled in Louisville, Kentucky by 1863 or 1864. I know no particulars of this couple’s immigration or marriage, but I have seen that this Alice Masterson married a John Kerans in 1856. So, please correct any information I have wrong here or share anything you might have about these unions. Steve Keeley - [email protected]
