Kiss me I'm Irish

I've been messing around with ancestry.com for a while now... i have traced my family tree back to the mid 1700s when Lawrence Kelly came to what would become the United States.

He passed away in 1761.

Using census data, and family photographs, oral history etc i was able to trace the Kelly's from the mid 1700s all the way up to as recently as my maternal Great Grandfather.

At one point in time it would appear - though it required further research - that I had a Confederate Soldier relative and a Union Soldier relative from the same family.

Additionally, it seems that my paternal great great great grandfather surrendered with the 5th Florida Infantry Regiment at Appomattox

would be so interesting to know the details of their lives and experiences.

anyone dabble in this stuff?
