Using keyword put in "peter kelty" and you'll get about 16 hits which will include his mom's (ellen) obit, which mentions him and his brother and the fact that she had lived in Brooklyn for 50 yrs.. Apparently Peter was probably born in U.S. Her address is given and she is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery. Hopefully someday the Library will enlarge the archives to include the years 1903 - 1955. Peter was also an active member of the Brooklyn Democrats, as you'll see from one of the hits. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
