My father's maternal grandfather was Michael Francis Skelley, a native of Parish Cashel, County Longford. The name there would be Scally.Had at least one brother, Thomas.Not sure yet who the parents were, but the family is said to have come over in the late 1840's - early 50's going first to N.Y. (Brooklyn?) and finally settling in DeKalb Co. IL - Had a large farm there.I am told the Parish records are in St. Mary's church in Newtowncashel, in the southwest corner of Co. Longford.I would like to keep up the momentum!
