My name is James Patrick Kelleher. The reason I've created this website is to create an ancestral record consisting of genealogy, family history and photos. This will include, but will certainly not be limited to the following surnames: Beneux, Hoffman, Kelleher, Latham, Miller and Morrell. I'll happily add to this list as we get more information. Please note: This is very much a collaborative effort. We need your input.
The info we have on the Hoffman's and Kelleher's is almost completely from Aunt Joyce. She pretty much owns that part of the site. Also thanks to her for many of the photos. The Beneux and Morrell stuff I got from my Mom, and from Bearing The Beneux Name by Mayme Vest and Morrell Family History by Bob Morrell. I’ll be updating the sources in the notes section as I go.
There’s still much work to do. Please do not consider the genealogical information here to be definitive. It’s very much a work in progress.
You can help! The family is the first and best source of information when you begin genealogical research. Anything at all would be appreciated. The following is a partial list of info that we need...
Dates & places of the following wherever it's missing:
There’s more to family history than just dates. Personal accounts, military service, anecdotes… these are all interesting.
Why the password hassle? Although there’s no detailed personal info here, this site includes living people. It would be inappropriate to make the site open to the world. Drop me a line and I'll set you up with an account.
