I'm interested in the Kelley, Beatty, Eldred, Griffith, Haight, Lauthers lineage, as well as other related family names to this greater KELLEY Family Tree of PA, MN, IN, IA, KS, MA, NY, OH, WI and beyond. Where did the earliest ancestors of these family members originate in Europe? Thank you very much for any and all assistance that may be pertinent to our greater Family History/Genealogy, primarily in PA.
