Here is the fragmentary beginning of a web site designed for the descendants of John Kelliher and Bridget Falvey, who were married in Ireland in 1845 in the midst of the famine.

My grandmother Catherine "Katie" Kelliher came to the US in about 1920, at the age of 18, along with her younger sister Mary Ann (Molly). They came to work, and were preceded by their older sister Bridget "Bridie," who had been sponsored over by their maternal aunt, Nora O'Leary Mahoney, married to Jerry Mahoney of McKinley Avenue on the East Side of the Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio. Nora's sister Ellen O'Leary Kelliher was the mother of these three young women--Bridie, Katie, and Molly.

I will try to add a list of email addresses of Kelliher descendants, as well as a more detailed account of the family history, as soon as I can.
