• Notes

  Died at age 85, Nov 4, 19??, sometime while Judith Whalen was in high school. Came over from Ireland twice; on her second trip she met her husband David McGrath on the boat coming over. Had brothers and a sister in the US as well as in Ireland. Maybe a John Kiely? Family did not keep in touch with his descendants, with the possible exception of Eileen McGrath O’Malley, who was apparently in touch with Kielys in Ireland, and visited several times.
