Michael Kennelly - IRE to Ontario, CAN

My uncle told me that our great great grandfather separated from his cousins in Montreal (could have been Grosse Ile).They went up the Ottawa River to Renfrew while our gggf Jeremiah went up the St. Lawrence to Picton, Ontario and eventually to Northbrook, Ontario.Jeremiah's grandson Jim Kennelly looked much like Martin Kennelly, the mayor of Chicago in a time before Mayor Daley of '60s fame.Martin Kennelly's family was, I have been told,from Ballylongford, Co. Kerry, an area in the NW of Kerry. I have deduced but not confirmed that my own family was from Ballylongford.I believe your Kennellys are closely related to mine and are from Ballylongford.If this strikes a chord, contact me.Jeremiah was married to Ellen Mulvihill.She had a brother Patrick and her father appears to have been Jeremiah Mulvihill.
Jim Kennelly
