On this page is the family of my great-grandfather, James Kelly.
His father, grandfather and other family members are listed on these two pages, along with where they lived and hints about their children.
And if that wasn't exciting enough at the bottom of the page it says, "All the above 9 children of John Kelly were born in Askinfarnie."
So not only do I now know who my 3rd great-grandparents were, I know that they came from Askinfarney, County Wexford, Ireland!

WOW what a wonderful find for you. I think every genealogists hopes for something like this to happen to them. You can count yourself one of the fortunate few. Good luck with your continued research
WOW O WOW O WOW~
That birthplace line just gave me the ooeeee genie shivers.
ENJOY!!!
What a gift! With Irish records so skimpy this is fantastic! My grandfather came from County Wexford as well. When I visited his birthplace I could not find where his parents were buried. However, I was fortunate to be taken to my grandmother's parents grave by a 2nd cousin.
Enjoy this bit of Irish luck!

This is indeed a lot of super information. Many "Happy Dances" and I bet you are glad you are home from work so you can spend time with your new information. I'm anxious to learn how this person came about to contact you, if you didn't even know about that line. Very, very happy for you.
Brilliant! It's so exciting when you discover (or are given) gems like this :)
That's just fantabulous! I wish I could have that kind of luck!
