DNA Update

With our second Madden Y-DNA - (Second Cousin) we now have our own descending line on the Kelly Tree.  With Townsend/Kelly/Lloyd on one side and 3 Kelly's on the other we come from BY3040.  As more individuals test this might be broken down even more and perhaps eventually we will find just a small window where our Kelly ancestors became Maddens.

I am still looking for Maddens whose ancestors were in the Great Lakes area to test.  The coincidences in family history make some connection to our family seem possible.  At worst it would be good to rule that possibility out.

Family Gatherings - 2011

Oregon provides a good middle ground for the family.  The oldest generation is spread from Seattle to Seaside.  We have met twice in Sun River, the first time in 2011.  This page includes pictures supplied by many family members. Liam was missing and  only there for a few days, Eric seems to have eluded the camera! Tim, Denise and Mariah stayed home with Mom, who was in the end, not well enough to travel.
