Killey Family Connections
this is a place to share our family history and information
Welcome to the Killey Family web site. If like me, you've been researching the Killey surname and are hitting your head on lots of brick walls, you might find something of use here. Do we have a connection? We might, if:
-
Your Killey ancestry takes you from the Isle of Man after 1817 to Ontario, Essex County, Canada by at least 1842.
-
Your Killey ancestry either leaves you in Ontario, Canada or sends you with a more adventurous ancestor to the state of Michigan.
-
Your Killey ancestry begins in the state of Michigan, since you haven't been able to get back too far because the surname spelling keeps changing.
-
Your Killey ancestry includes any of the children born to Thomas Killey and Elizabeth Whittle: John, William, James, Jane, Elizabeth, Alexander, Robert, George, Almenian, Thomas, Mary, Hugh, or Frederick.

To protect the privacy of individuals who are still among the living, the family tree contained herein is password protected. If you think we have a connection, contact me and we can compare notes.
Once you enter the family tree, you'll find the sources from my research at the tail end. I've attempted to cite everything as fully as possible. Genealogy is my hobby, and though I am as much a stickler for details as the next person, family memories are often faulty. The truth is somewhere in between the memories of many people and what you read on the documents cited here.
It's Baaaack...
Dear Killey Relatives,
If you haven't visited the site in a while you'll notice there are some changes. For the last month or two, the site was closed while I compiled the Killey information into book form.The site is up and running again, but the Killey report is now a stripped down version from what it was in the past. The bulk of that information (beyond names and dates) is now in the Killey book, which is in the final stages of editing and preparation for printing.
There is talk of a Killey family reunion, and I hope to have a couple copies available for viewing at the reunion. You can check it out and decide if you'd like to place an order.
My goal is not to make money off this Killey book, but strictly to cover the costs of printing and binding, which will be taken care of here in Tawas City.
The contents of the book will include more specific information on the ancestors and descendants contained on the web pages here. There will also be photographs and copies of census records and other documents. The book is currently a little over one hundred pages in length.
If you'd like to place an order, sight unseen, because you don't think you'll make it to a reunion, then contact me and I'll add you to the list. When I have the information regarding cost for printing and mailing, I'll get back with you and we can settle up and get your book out to you. My goal is to have it ready to go by the end of June 2003.
Again, if there are any additions or corrections to the information you find here, you know how to reach me.
