I am an American with dual Irish-USA citizenship. My grandfather Owen Kelly I believe was born in 1842 in Ballynafagh, Parish of Clane, Diocese of Kildare. His father Nicholas Kelly was born around 1815 and lived in the same parish. Owen Kelly later emigrated to the USA in 1868-69 and in 1871 in South Orange, New Jersey, USA, married Esther Leary, also from Clane (Stapleton), where she was born in 1835.
I would like to make contact with anyone with these same relatives.

Hi,
Thanks again for your message. I hope that someone connected to the family contacts you.
Once again, you could try looking in the 1911 census records to see what family were still in the area after Dennis emigrated. You can search this online here:

You could also post this message in a more local forum such as:

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
Genealogy Support
