During the great famine in Ireland in the middle of the 19th century, many Irish people immigrated to America. Sean O’Kelley, born 1839, was one of them. He was only 8 years old when he and his family emigrated from somewhere around Cobh, Ireland, to Michigan in USA. Sean O’Kelley is the great-grandfather of the “The Kelly Family”. In USA, they changed the name O’Kelley to Kelly, to sound more American.
Sean grew up to be a well-known violin player and musician in the Irish community where they lived. He married a woman and they got children, one of them was John (Papa Kelly’s father). John married Caroline, and they got 10 kids. 8 boys: Edward William, Ray, Jack, Joe, Henry Lawrence, Bob, Jim and Daniel Jerome. And 2 girls: Margareth and one more.
Daniel Jerome, Dan for short, was born 11th of October 1930 in Michigan, USA. He grew up to be a teacher and professor in math, Lateen and philosophy. He also owned an antique shop.
Dan married Joanne in 1957, and they got 4 children, Danny (1961), Caroline (1962), Kathy (1963) and Paul (1964). Danny was retarded.
In the USA the family lived a modern life with TV, radio and two cars. But Dan got sick of the “American Life”. He wanted his kids to grow up in a safe environment, which he meant they wouldn’t find in the US. May 1965 they moved to Europe and Spain.
