Michael Francis Melly
My name is Mike Melly and I am a first generation Irish American. My father was also Mike Melly and he was born in Lettermacaward (Leitir) County Donegal. My mother, Breda Sugrue, was born in Waterville County Kerry. I am interested in learning more about the Melly name, it's origins and if their is a Melly Clan group that I can participate in. My research has shown that we may be part of the O'Malley (O'Maille) clan that originated from Co Mayo. When researching my family name I learned that Melly was the Anglicized form of the Gaelic name O'Mealligh. I am looking forward to anything I can learn about that Melly name.
