Hi Don,

I can commisserate with the Kelly -- my grandmother was one!

>About Routledge Bell says it is a border name and that they were the

most inoffensive of clans, known as "every man's prey". Look for them
on the west March, English side of the border. Hey, my Armstrong and
Beatty ancestors might have killed a few of you. We were on the other
side of the border and meaner, especially the Armstrongs.

Not helpful, eh?
