KILL*LEA "GET-TOGETHER" IN IRELAND 2012
There is a group on "Facebook" called "Killileas of the World" and members of that group are starting to show an interest in holding a "Get-Together" in Ireland in 2012 for all Kill*lea descendants from around the World.  
 
The suggested place is Ballinasloe, Co Galway (Only about 10kms N.N.E. of where Edward came from) and the most likely date is the first week in July.  
 
Contact me should you not have access to "Facebook" and want to express an interest in attending or for further details as they become available.

DNA TESTING & RESULTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD Patrick Killalea in USA has set up a web-page which could be of interest to all Killilea - Killalea - Killelea - Kilalea - Killaleagh - Killela - Kellelea - etc males with a direct male Killalea line.  Well this could prove it anyway and it would be interesting to see more results posted there in the next few months.

Any Killalea/Killelea/Killilea etc family member who is registered on "Facebook" should check out "Killalea Klans Unite!".  There are family members overseas who are interested in organizing a World wide Killalea Reunion at Killalea Beach, NSW, Australia.  Should you be interested it would help if you would make a comment on that site.

KILLALEA POEM - Written when I was frustrated with my genealogy research several years ago, especially with Edward's wife Maria who has been a real problem.  About the same time the Shellharbour Council were contemplating changing the name of the beach.

There is also a "Save Killalea" group on "Facebook" with almost 2,700 members which contains comments from people of all ages and also from other parts of the World providing support for those trying to stop any further development at Killalea State Park.  Examples of the comments can be found on this web-site for those who don't have access to "Facebook" and this shows a lot of support from the younger generations as well.

Unfortunately our main Killalea researcher, reunion organizer and expert on all Killalea matters Leanne is seriously ill with cancer so there could be a noticeable lack of up to date information on our site regarding the Killalea State Park proposed development.  No doubt what Leanne has written about the proposal in the past will help others understand the families thoughts and the sequence of events up until 2009.
