It's wonderful how many of her relatives still live on the Main Line. I also love passing the statue of her father whenever I'm in town.
 
Jack Kelly for Major! That would have been awesome!

That home is the former Levine property. Lizanne lived @ that location until she could physically no longer live there. The property was sold & her home was demolished. It seems Lizanne's son rented the 1st floor last year, donating the rental fees to charity (which is truely amazing!) & the 2nd floor was sold as a private property The hasienda stlye home you see in the background is the real former Kelly Family beach house where Grace & her siblings grew up. I'm not sure if the home is still in the family.

Oh wow! I didn't know that! Where did you find that out?
 
I spend my summers in Ocean City, NJ. My mother had a home there growing up just 3 blocks away from the Kelly Family home.
The beachfront property in your post was the location of the former Levine Beach House, but to be very honest, I don't know who actually owns the property now.

Princess Grace's mother, Margaret, was the daughter of German immegrants. I don't know if Jack Kelly was first or second generation American. I guess the combination of those genes just made a perfect blend in Grace.:flowers::wub:

It is interesting to note that Grace Kelly was through her mother Margaret direct descendant of German aristocratic family Schenk von Stauffenberg...her grandson Andrea Casiraghi dated Countess Caroline Schenk von Stauffenberg from that same family...

Of course,Andrea is related to Caroline through various other families through his grand-paternal Grimaldi line and not Kellys...
 
I have found this man.

The ancestry and lineage of Colonel Claus Schenk, Count von Stauffenberg, show him to have been seemingly ordained by heaven for his dangerous and courageous task.

His family are amongst the most eminent and noble families of Bavaria, with close connections to the Royal House of Wittelsbach, which family is, for Jacobite Legitimists, the senior legitimate line of succession of British royalty.

Two nieces of the Duke of Bavaria are married to two brothers, first cousins twice removed both of Count Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg and of his wife Baroness Elisabeth Magdalena von Lerchenfeld, Countess Monika von Waldburg zu Zeil und Trauchburg to Count Christoph Schenk von Stauffenberg and Countess Maria-Anna von Quadt zu Wykradt und Isny to Count Alexander Schenk von Stauffenberg.

Another niece of the Duke of Bavaria, Countess Walburga von Waldburg zu Zeil und Trauchburg is married to Baron Carl von Lerchenfeld, first cousin of the aforementioned brothers Counts Christoph and Alexander Schenk von Stauffenberg.

The Lerchenfelds are direct descendants of Lord Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk, son of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, by his second marriage.

St Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel was the only son of the latter's first mar.

*He had a similar face to Margaret´s and Grace´s.
 
Thank you a lot for this piece of information, Sensibility!
I have never heard of him anything earlier!

:rose2: So glad to have someone point the facts out. I had no idea Pss. Grace family history traced back to the most serious of times.

:rose: Apparantly Pss Grace wasn't as much of a commoner as most would think?? Truly coming from a noble heritage!:heartflower:

Sensibility, the photo isn't showing :-(

I'm surprised at the link with the Stauffenberg family, especially Claus Schenk von St. who is revered almost as a martyr, through the attempted killing of Hitler.

I was even more surprised to find a link to the noble Howard family (owners of stately homes in Derbyshire), a prominent Catholic family with a genuine martyr, Saint Philip Howard. Until I moved to Edinburgh, I lived for many years in Glossop, Derbyshire, where there are various churches and memorials to Philip and his companions, known as the Padley Martyrs, during the time of persecution of Catholics.

Wow, that house is huge, we always rented houses in Ocean City NJ and would always drive by the Kelly's house on the beach which was all white brick back then and the original house was across the street where Grace's parents house was, where the family stayed when she was little. You can see it in the backround of the picture, kind of a spanish style house. Haven't been O C in about 6 yrs though!
 
Way back in '78, when Princess Grace and Caroline were staying at the house on the beach when she was still with Philip Junot, all the news people were outside and a crowd of people trying to look in the windows and walking on the property, my sister and I were lying on the beach and looked up to see swarms of people everywhere, on the porch, peering in windows and thankfully the curtains were closed. Never did see Grace or Caroline but I did see Grace Levine coming out of the top floor of the house coming down the stairs.

Well,in royal and princely terms she was very much a commoner with a dash of German noble blood just through her mother...here is her line from Schenk von Stauffenberg family,family of famous Claus,Count Schenk von Stauffenberg and Andrea's ex-girfriend Caroline,Countess Schenk von Stauffenberg:



Konrad Schenk von Stauffenberg,died in 1361=Adelheid von Ow

I
Grace Patricia Kelly,lived from 1929-1982=Prince Ranier III of Monaco,lived from 1923-1005



So,the von Stauffenbergs and all nobles that have descended from them could today count as Kelly relatives,no matter how distant they are.As we see Grace Patricia Kelly also descended from several other German noble families like von Pleiningen, von Münchingen, Spam von Sparr, von Felldorf, von Ow, von Rath, von Bettendorf , von Nippenburg, von Thierberg and von Salmedingen zu Erpfingen family...
 
Great! this list could keep us going for months.. - I look forward to it!

How did you find all the info, Marc?
 
Just going deeper into her ancestry...people often lose their patience and look just for 2-3 past generations and that's it... :)
 
Lizanne (Kelly) Levine and the son of John B. Kelly II are in this Philadelphia news piece about the death of Prince Raininer. This was probably the last interview with Lizanne Levine, she passed away after Prince Rainier.

"Shortly after" is not not quite correct. Prince Rainier died on April 6,
2005, Lizanne Kelly LeVine on November 24, 2009, that's a difference
or timespan of around 4 1/2 years.
 
Is the Kelly brick company still in business? Is it still owned by the family? Do any of the family still work for the company?

John B. Kelly Jr inherited from his father and ran "Kelly for Brickworks", then sold it. I don't think that the company is still operating anymore.

The address for Kelly For Brickwork was "1720 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, PN". I googled that address and it is no longer there. I am not sure when the business closed though:sad:
 
I have found the place in where John B. Kelly (Grace´s brother) and his wife lived in the 50s and 60s. It´s located in 2601 Parkway, Philadelphia and now it´s a condonium.

The Mothers of Assumption - the first school of Kelly sisters: Peggy, Gracie and Lizzie.

A view of the school thanks to google map.
