There were two sets of Keelings.Earlier ones were in the eastern counties of Virginia.These are probably yours.I was most disappointed when I began searching about 20 years ago and thought I hadd founds my mother's Keelings then discovered they could not be the same ones.I even bought the old IGI for Ireland and there were so many Keelings I had no idea how to sort them out.We still search for immigration and naturalization records but to me they are the most difficult of all records to find.
I am disappointed for I thought Ihad found another cousin..but I suppose we will have to go back another 10 or 15 generations to find a common ancestor.
Good luck in your research!
