Janet, Thanks for searching in Galway also....the Murray's lived so close to the border that I'm sure events could have take place there, too. Not sure if any of these Kelly's match....but it's a possibility. I'll hang onto them. Where did your Kelly family go to??? Mine landed in Jo Daviess Co, IL. I agree with others....keep answering these for all if you can. I'm having a ball and am reading almost everyone on of them. Always looking for a clue to my family. If anyone knows why Rutland, VT was a lure for the Irish landing in America, I'd like to hear about that. One of my families landed there too and I always wondered why.
