Welcome to the Reilly Blog

Hello Kith & Kin, the next step in our quest to obtain the history of our ancestors.  Our starting point is with our granny commonly known as Granny Barty.  Avril and I have been working on our genealogy for the past 10 months.  We have been unable to find the relevant info of Granny Barty ie. when she left the USA and when she arrived in SA.  We have no knowledge of her father or mother other than he owned a barber shop in Commissioner Street. 

We have started a family tree please supply your family details to be included in the tree, currently we have 90 members it is too wonderful to see the family connections.

Please use the blog to keep everybody updated on family news.  If you should have any anecdotal stories or info we could include in the proposed book Cabbage & Maccaroni please share them with us.

Look forward to your participation!

  1. Hello all!
    My name is Anthony Kew and I reside in Australia these days. I am the son of Allan and Joan Kew and have a funny little sister too, her name is Samantha Wynne (nee Kew).
    Sometimes, people confuse me with a person named Angus_Gray, So don't get confused with that should anything "pop up"... hehehehe!
    Anyway, will be sweet to keep in touch with the blog!
    All the best!
