Helen Florence Kelley

Note from Sandra Smith Gwilliam:
Helen's birth certificate has Florence for her middle name, but I only ever knew her as Helen.
She did an incredible amount of family history research which has helped an incredible number of relatives over the years.
She had photos of my great great grandparents and my 3rd great grandparents which I treasure. I have been able to share the scans of those photos with many other relatives.
I will always be grateful for her careful and well-documented research that she was willing to share with me (Sandra Smith Gwilliam).
