Historical References
"KELLAR, KELLER, KEILLER, KEILLOR. From the lands of (Easter and Wester) Keilor in the adjoining parishes of Newtyle and Kettins in Angus. The names are still common in the district. Stephen de Cellar, burgess of Roxburgh, 1262 (Melros, p. 294). Duncan de Cellario, burgess of Perth, 1292 (Milne, p. 5) is doubtless Dunkan del Celer, burgess of Perth, who rendered homage in 1296 (Bain, n, 814 and p. 197). Ranulph de Kelor swore fealty at Kyndromyn (Ki Id rummy) in Mar in same year. His seal bears a cross crosslet fitche, cantoned with four pellets, S' Ranulphi d' Kelor (ibid., 800). Thomas de Cellar, burgess of Perth, 1345 (Scon, p. 127), and Stephen de Cellario, archdeacon of Brechin, 1372 (REB., i, 20). John de Kelore in 1383 granted to John de Ardlere an annual of six merks out of the two vills of Kelore (RMS., i, 727). This John appears to have been the last of his family who held lands in Angus, but the surname, as already mentioned, is by no means rare. Johannes de Kelor, juror on a trial in Moray, 1398 (REM., p. 212), Agnes Kelour or Keilor had a charter from David n of Kepnemade and the new park of Stirling (RMS., i, 179, 225). Kelour was a personal name in Moray as well as a place name in Angus (Sc. Ant., xv, p. 68). Keloure 1296. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
DNA
Sometimes you can run into a brick wall in your tree and you just don't have enough evidence to make that next step back in time. A DNA test can sometimes help to make a link to a particular family name if you find you share common DNA with people who have the same or similar surnames as each other. If you are lucky then you may get a match within a few generations and discover some Kellar ancestors. Additionally, the modern DNA test can give you a breakdown of your ethnic mix - you may be surprised at the results!
