Re: Kell(e)y; Lake Co. Ohio 1830-1850

much of material on those pages is ripped off my site without any acknowledgement - even to stealing my sentences etc. I saw very little sign of any original research there - to give an example I quote the following:
In the 1700 and 1800's following greulling trials in the Isle of Man, hundreds of Manx prisoners were taken to the penal colonies of Australia and Van Dieman's Land. Enroute they endured lengthy stays in squalid
prison ships in London awaiting the long uncertain sea voyages to the
other side of the world. In many cases the offences were of minor nature
but under the law of the times the punishments were severe. The lack of
jobs and poverish influence of the times, unable to pay the taxes and
tithes of the church, made many of the Manxmen under the laws of these
horrendous crimes. Following a life of penal servitude, many never
returned to their native Isle of Man. Some succumbed to the English plagues and sickness as well as to the starvation and
lack of proper diets. Many hid out in caves, catching what they could in
the seas to stave of the hunger of the family.

so you now know !
