Catherine, I am researching my Irish roots from Dakota Co. Ggparents, Michael KELLY & Catherine MURRY, moved there from Mass abt 1863, farmed Lakeville area, moved to St Paul abt 1880. Daughters include: Elizabeth m Patrick LONEY, Catherine m. William J. ROWAN, Bridget m Arthur HAMBLIN. My relationship is to the KELLY/MURRY line. They married 1856/Roxbury, Mass, he listed 1851 as immigration date. No clue re: Irish origins (yet). The William J ROWAN (m. to my grandmother Bridget's sister) b 1859, d 1900. His parents: Luke ROWAN and Bridget LAVALLE. Irish origin: Bonniconlon, Co Mayo. Any relationship to your Rowan search? I'm pursuing all clues to find my KELLY roots. Thanks. Jackie - Milw, WI
