Hello Sheryanne,
You replied to yourself so I didn't get notified that you had replied to me. I was correct. I have a contact from Glace Bay who knows some of your relatives. Some of the information that I have on this family comes from a book called "To the Hill of Boisdale". Very little is given on Michael's family in this book. A granddaughter was listed as a daughter. This lady turned out to be Michael's granddaughter from his second marriage. I have coeected the children of Michael and Flora below.
The contact of mine from Glace Bay knows a descendant of Michael named Marguetite who is (I think) the daughter of Dan (s/o John D) and a descendant of Michael named Cecelia Harrietha Kelly (She was incorrectly listed as a daughter of Michael in an earlier posting by me I think). These two know they are related as your John D. was the half brother of Cecelia's mother Josephine.
