Hi I am looking for any tips to help me locate infomation on my grandfather Woodrow Dale Kelly in the USA. I know he married Nellie Irene Johnson born in 1912 Pennsilvania she later married Raymond Krammer in 1951 after Woodrow split. Nellie died in 1979. I would like to know more about Woodrow Dale Kelly & his father. As i am new at this, and i don't know what places to look in for Infomation. Can any of you good people help point me on the correct path to take? Thank you

Ronald, What year where they born and where? You should be able to find them on the US censuses on Ancestry. Crista

Ron, Think the above Woodrow was Woodrow J Kelly as I found his death record. Your Woodrow was probably born c1913 when Woodrow Wilson became president. It was a common name that year. That would tie in with Nellie being born in 1912. Crista

There's a Woodrow Kelly aged 16 on the 1920 census in PA. He's a boarder, born in PA, as were both of his parents. He's a labourer at Radiator Works.

Thought I should add I've been emailing Ron back and forth and we've found Woodrow with his parents Elmer and Louise in 1930. What we can't read is Elmer's parents in 1900. If anyone can look at the image for Elmer Kelly Page number 1a and Enumeration District 138 and see what they think we'd be grateful. Crista

Hi Jess, Ancestry's transcribed them as Seannam and Daolly. I can make out the other children as Clarence, Harry, Celia May and ???? Crista
