My grandmother Annie A. Kelly Godwin's parents were John Kelly and Bridget Kenny
Kelly. Annie married Patick Joseph Godwin in Scranton in October 1898. Annie had sisters
Mary who married a Patrick M.McLaughlin also in Scranton, Lackawanna County, PA. in 1905,
and a Bridget Kelly who married a McLain. In Annie Kelly Godwin's 1923 obit it lists
a Mrs John Kelly of Ireland in addition to her sisters. See any connection?
A William Scott signed as informant on my grandfather's death certificate in 1932.
Also when I recently had my paternal side DNA test the closest was an Edward Lee Scott
from Texas and two others: Kirk Andrew Scott and a John Scott.
On my mother's side are the Sweeney and Kelly families. The Sweeneys came fro the
Killala area in Sligo. The Kellys were from Clonikilty, Cork.
