Pedigree of Kelly

This website is not yet proven. I created this website solely to keep my readers informed of my activities and progress and in the hopes that someone with documents may contact me.  DNA testing results of a traceable descendant of James is due May 2012 and with those results we will discover 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 this could be true and lucky for us the science of DNA will aid in our quest for the truth.  Please do not replicate anything on this website as proven or true and please contact me if you believe you may have clues or documents relating to the O'Kellys of Aughrim..   

As you view this website those familiar with the traditional Pedigree of my family 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 additional descendant of Thomas may contradict this belief.
