Descendants of James O'Kelly of Aughrim Co Galway Ireland

Pedigree of Kelly

This website is not yet proven. I created this website solely to keep my readers informed of my activities and progress.  DNA testing results of a traceable descendant of James is due the end of March 2012 to learn if the O'Kelleys of my line descended from William of Buckfield a descendant of James O'Kelly Esq of Aughrim.  There are a great many reasons to suspect we descended from James of Aughrim but because it has not been proven, please do not replicate such. 

As you view this website you may ask, what happened to Thomas O'Kelley born 1750?  You will find Thomas presented on this website as a cousin and not a brother to Charles and Francis.  There is DNA evidence to support this possibility but future testing of an additonal descendant of Thomas may contradict this belief.
