Communication Preferences: I am interested in communicating private message with cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy. Here is my family tree.
My goal is to preserve family histories, for myself and everyone. Genealogy is not a hobby for everyone, but I enjoy the hunt for sources and adding to the family tree. I post stories on facebook and try to encourage my friends and family to use Wikitree.com and look into their family history.

I am a fan of the free sites like Wikitree.com, Findagrave.com and FamilySearch.com. Not sure where we would be without the LDS church (no I am not a member).

I do have an account with MyHeritage.com but so far have been reluctant to sign up to Ancestry.com or Newspaper.com because anything I find there can only be seen by a limited number of people, and I really like to share with everyone.

I would like to welcome EVERYONE to join Wikitree.com!!

Biography

Kelly has worked on and off on genealogy for 30+ years. Used RootsWeb initially. He got away from it when privacy concerns and identity theft became issues. Kelly considers "sharing" the most important thing about genealogy, helping others understand the past through their ancestors.

Kelly grew up in Southern California and went to several colleges before finally getting a M.S. degree in Computing Science at the U.C. Davis Extension Campus at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California.

Kelly worked many jobs in his life, but after getting his M.S. he worked at LLNL for 10 years in the Computer Graphics and Computer Languages groups. Then went to a startup Supercomputer Systems Inc. (SSI) for 5 years. He specialized in language parser generation and debugging software, writing multiple C language compilers. He was an alternate for the first ANSI standardization meetings for the C programming language. After SSI he went to Sun Microsystems and was there for 17 years working in the DBX (debugger) group and the JAVA organization. Oracle bought Sun and Kelly stayed at Oracle for 3 years doing JAVA work and getting involved in Continuous Build and Test Systems and Source Code Management Software. Kelly's last job was at Workday in Pleasanton, California where he continued his work on Continuous Integration and Build systems and more with Source Code Management Software. Kelly retired from Workday after 6 years.

Kelly is familiar with many computer languages and operating systems.

I just opened up privacy on a bunch of O'Hair privacy since there's no reason to keep them private if the don't have living children. Let me know if you come across any that should be opened and I'll get them changed. Thanks! Emma
Thanks, I was unaware of a no living children requirement to become public.

That's just my personal rule. It's not a WikiTree requirement. I've had some people upset when they find their parents' profiles managed by someone not in their immediate family. I just opened Jesse O'Hair-135 and some of his siblings. Thanks! Emma
I just opened the profiles for all the children of John Charles Breckenridge O'Hair https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/O'Hair-93 It is very likely some of them have living children, but we can always make the profiles private at any time we need to. Thanks! Emma

Thank you for adding to the Bonner family information!
Hi Kelly,

I have just started getting into genealogy, and have been scanning some of my mother's old photos. Her name was June Reum (Wetmore). So, I was very interested in the post that you made on Carrie, Mildred, and Myrta Wetmore. I happen to have a photo of Carrie and her brother Alton taken around WWI (He's got his uniform on.) Are you interested in getting a copy?

Sure, I can add it. I've just been trying to add in as many cousins as possible, plus spouses.
posted by Kelly O'Hair
Adding to WikiTree is enough for me, I'm trying to go digital as much as possible, my closets are overflowing. These are my wife's relatives, and I will make sure my Father-In-Law sees them. Thank you for adding them, they are very cool.

Hi Kelly

Thanks  for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz. As Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within a project is essential

Please ensure a location is entered on all profiles and data matches dates of profile. Avoid abbreviations as these can mean different things or location around the world, add sources with citations & links for sources to support the data. From wiki ID go to Research to find sources

The United States  Project would be of interest. Adding the tag UNITED_STATES will connect you  Follow this link for your Tags:   your tags

Explore Pre-1700 Projects list to find one that fits your research focus. I would suggest you take a look at the IRELAND project

Hi Kelly, I'm adding Charla to the close O'Hair family she is related to so she can add and edit.

Emma

Absolutely fantastic! Always happy to see another family member contribute. Thanks!!!

I have been in email contact with Charla, 20 years ago I was in email contact with her mother too, so she is carrying on her mothers work. ;)

Added you to Myrtle O'Hair. Thanks!
Added you to Thomas O'Hair
I removed myself as manager of Lorenzo since this is your grandfather.

Emma

Hi Kelly,

I just added you to Addie Zolman's profile. Feel free to edit as you wish. Let me know if you want to be added as a manager as well. Only managers can change LNABs. If you have adequate sources for a change in her LNAB, then we should definitely change it.

And let me know if you want to be added to any other O'Hair profiles.

thanks! Emma :-)

Thanks Kelly for joining us! I’m Cindy, a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site.

I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Do you have any questions I can answer?

Hi Kelly,

Welcome to WikiTree! I have added you as manager to your grandfather's profile. Let me know if you want access to any of our shared ancestors up the line. This is actually my sons' family (their dad), but I do all the research and management. Emma :-)

Hi Kelly,

A warm welcome to WikiTree. You are now a full member and can add your family to the big tree!

Click here to start with our New Member How-To Pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have. You never know when you will find a lost family member or ancestor. Or maybe find a hidden family secret about an ancestor. Genealogy to me is like being a detective looking for clues into the past.

Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!
