My Fay line starts in Ireland with Christopher Fay, who emigrated to New York around 1849. His son, Patrick, headed to Cleveland, Ohio, sometime between 1875 and 1880. Unfortunately for me as a researcher, Fay is a very common Irish name and there are tons of them in Ohio, even in Cleveland. So here I am collecting them and presenting them to you in case any of this info help you in your research.<\/p>\n

Most of these are not in my direct line so I do not have anything more on them beyond what is listed. For Fays named Patrick, see my special page: Other Patrick Fays<\/a>.<\/p>\n
