Dear Fellow Researchers, As the daughter of a person who has worked with the Georgia State Hospital, please let me clarify a bit about the nature of State Mental Hospitals. There are wards in these state hospitals for the criminally insane who were place in these instutitions by the courts. HOWEVER, the vast majority of the patients in various state hospitals were placed there by their own volition, or by their family or guardians. It was considered a disgrace by the sane members of a family to have someone who lost control of themselves under severe stress such as the death of a parent or child. Also the mentally retarded children were frequently placed in these hospitals even for mild Down's Syndrome. Manic depressives or those with bipolar depression ended up in these institutions. Many other people with less well known mental illnesses were place in these institutions because the wonder drugs of today had not been invented. The problem is that the families of such people were ashamed to admit that their child or family member was not sane. Therefore they "hushed it up" as far as family traditions and oral history is concerned. Today, we have better medicine and better means to help a person recover from most mental problems. However, we still have problems coping with our own feeling about putting our loved ones into "Nursing Homes" when they suffer old age dementias and Alzheimer's Disease. One must simply image that the same stigmas were much more prominent before 1970 to understand why everything was "hushed up" about persons with mental problems and depressions who were in the State Hospitals. I understand that the English Royal Family also had some dementia's in their line [King George III and others] and the same "Hush Up" occurred in that family as well. Now we know about this problem from biographers of the Royal Family and from recent plays about King George III. Sincerely Mary (FAY) Nelson 9

Dear Janet, There are three possibilities. One would be regular service in the Spanish America War. The second would be the First World War. The third would be in a regular service on an United State Naval Ship. There are microfilm indexes in the National Archives for Military Service and Military Pension Forms. National Archives Great Lakes Region 7358 S. Pulaski Rd Chicago, IL. 60629 Phone: 1-312-581-7816 E-mail:<archives@chicago.nara.gov> You might also contact the Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD. They have lots of Naval records. At 03:03 PM 3/3/00 -0500, you wrote: >Does anyone know if there is a list or source for finding men from the >Chicago area who served in the Navy in the late 1800's, early 1900's?

Dear Family and Friends, I have started to post pages from Orlin's book at the website: http://www.fayfamily.org Go to "books" and then to "original source material" and then to number 5. This is just a START, and I am not yet happy with the quality of the images. As time permits, I will redo these few pages and post others. But I need help with this project. The book is long, as is the index, and I do not have time to scan all the pages. If you can help with this project by scanning a few pages now and then and sending me the images, please let me know. Tell me before you begin, though, for we don't want duplicated efforts, and if I know who is planning to do which pages, I can make sure that there is no overlap. Linda

Hi Robert Thanks for the information, Mary Nelson sent me an E-Mail and was very helpful. I will keep the list informed of any new discoveries I make, I sent Mary Nelson a list of Lucy Fay married Barnabas Rhoads children and her daughter Lucy Ann Rhoads married William H. Haycraft. I didn't know if the list would be interested in the descendants or not so I didn't post them. Thank You Again Bud Haycraft

Morning Mary! It hasn't been that long, has it? The email leads me to believe either all my previous posting were forgotten, or they were lost.<G> I imagine you probably get a lot of emails about various family lines. Just the same, I can answer the question, with a little cut and paste from an email I received. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary F.

I was beginning to wonder if anything would ever come of this. Having recently moved, my records are still packed. This is just the incentive I needed to get them out and begin to do more research. Since your wife is of the Jeremiah line, I suppose that you have been in contact with Ruth Fay - still in Parma? Asa and Florella's daughter Roxanna married Newell Roberts, son of Alamanza Roberts and Maryann Blakeslee. Roxanna and Newell had a son Luther, who was my great grandfather. At one time, I found reference that Asa took the Oregon Trail and returned but have been unable to trace this fact further. Possibly it was his son, also an Asa. Will write with more detail this weekend - it will be a long one for me and so I should be able to get out my records. Wanted to thank you for your response and try to keep this line open and active. I can see that we have much information to share. I am now in Ohio and close to Parma. Have pictures of all the headstones in the Parma cemetery if you are interested. Ginger END CUT AND PASTE As of right now, she has sent me a second email, but nothing further on the line. I am thinking she is still unpacking myself. As an aside in the Parma Heights Historical Cemetery in Cuyahoga County, Ohio where we found the FAY graves I've already sent pictures of to you, among others, there was also BRAINARD, HOFFMAN, ROBERTS, and HODGEMAN all buried there, among others. A lot of Parma's original settlers are there. > Benajah Fay Sr. 4 is [OPF # 95], pages 182-183 Only 4 of his children > show up in Orlin P.

Ruth Fay 5 [OPF # 95-4] is mentioned on page 205 I never did send anyone hard copies of the necessary pages from "The History of Parma" by Ernest Kubasek. My fault. I apologize. I believe Dick Miller was also expecting a hard copy, plus a few others. I'll need either the necessary snail mal address, or your email addy and I can send you a scanned copy of the pages in question. I did post to the list last month three or so pages that talked about Benejah FAY bringing his family to Parma, Ohio. To Mary: I already have your email addy, not sure about your snail mail addy? To Dick: You'll have to resend your snail mail addy. I think you wanted actual hard copies, but don't quote me on that. To whomever else: Same thing applies. <G> I'd prefer to send scanned copies just cuz it less time consuming for me. LMA Jim & Elicia SHREVE

Dear John Kangas, I don't have any direct information for you but here are a few places to try: Cleveland Public Library 325 Superior Ave. Cleveland OH 44114-1271 Phone: (216) 623-2800 State Library of Ohio Genealogical Division 65 S. Front St., Rm 510 Columbus, Ohio 43215-4163 Phone: (614) 644-7061. Greater Cleveland Genealogical Society P.O. Box 40254 Cleveland, OH 44140-0254 East Cuyahoga County Genealogical Society c/o Jim Walton 2696 Edgehill Rd. Cleveland Heights, OH 44106 Most genealogical Societies and libraries charge a look-up fee to cover their expenses. Try calling the larger groups first and see what they charge and what they can provide to you. You will want to locate: The Cleveland City Directories from 1880-1920. Check every year. You may well have to do this yourself. The Marriage Register Index and the location of Marriage Licences. Naturalization and Immigration Papers Birth announcements, if any, from newspapers between 1890-1893, for the possibility of John Fay's birth. Vital records of John Fay: Birth, baptism between 1890-1893. Obituary and Funeral Notice of Mrs. Magdalena (Kohout) Fay-Vacik from week of 12 January 1918. Obituary of Peter Vacik and see if John Fay is identified in this article as a step-son. Obituary of any male FAY's with widow Magdalena between 1890-1893. Census records of 1900, 1910 and 1920 for Cuyahoga County Ohio, and look for "Peter Vacik" and John Fay. Have you gotten a copy of the cemetery's records for your family yet? These may be at the office of the Cemetery or they may be stored in another location, so ask. These paper records generally tell who owned the lot and who is buried in the lot. They often tell the name of the funeral home that helped with the arrangements. One other place you might try is: Cuyahoga Valley Chapter-OGS Brecksville, OH 44141 Have you checked Filby's Passenger and Immigration Lists (about 20 volumes now/ Now on CD Roms from Family Treemaker, I think) for John Kohout and Magdalena Kohout? If they are not in this series try Germans To America (Now on CD Roms from Family Treemaker, I think) using the approximate years you think that they came to America. Best of luck in your search, Mary (FAY) Nelson 9

Dear Bud, RE: FAY-D,Vol. 00, # 30 Message 9: I think this may well be your Jonathan Fay: WILLIAM [Fay 5] Gershom 4, 3, & 2, John 1. He was b. Westboro [MA], July 15, 1752, m. Bethia Bassett; m. 2nd wid.[ow] Wright, m. 3rd Dinah. He settled in Faytown, Onondaga, NY, near a valuable spring which, with an old pear tree, indicate the site of his first log cabin when his nearest neighbor was two miles distant. He was in the war of the Revolution. 9 chil. /page 335 3. JONATHAN [FAY 6], b. 1785, m. Cynthia Robbins, res. Ill. 10 chil. ......1. Samuel [Fay 7], b. Apr. 9, 1792.[cor to 1829 or 1831] ......2. ROXANNA [(FAY) Rundell 7], m. Mr. Rundell 1 son. .............1, John [Rundell 8] .......No names for the other 8 chil. of Jonathan. [Fay, Orlin P. FAY GENEALOGY: John Fay of Marlborough and His Descendants. Cleveland, Ohio: Press of J. B. Savage, 1898: 335-336] Orlin P. Fay does not indicate where any of William FAY's children were born, so it is possible that they were born in CT. I don't know whether or not Orlin P. Fay has the correct date of birth for Jonathan or not. You will probably want to check the following: Census of Faytown, Onodaga County, NY: 1790-1880 Census of Madison County, IL, 1820, 1830;1840;1850. Census of Maupin, Ill. 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880; 1900; 1910; 1920. War records of the Revolutionary War for Mass: William Fay. If possible you want to locate the Military Pension File, if he filed for a pension. You might also want a History of Faytown, NY and one for Maupin IL, preferably one with genealogies in it. There was a fairly high child mortality level in that time period. Therefore, you need to check several of the CENSUS lists to try to find all 10 children which seem to be indicated. You have five names at present, which is more than I have. You may also want to check the Historical Society or Public Library in Maupin, IL. to see if they have the index to the local graveyards or whether they might have the names of the owners of such graveyards, to whom you might write for further information. If you would like further help, please contact me directly at <mary.bob.nelson@worldnet.att.net> Would you also let me know which of the Fay children of Jonathan is your ancestor. I hope this is your person. Welcome to our family. Mary (FAY) Nelson 9

Hi, I'm searching for information on my great-great grandfather, Patrick Henry FAY. I believe he lived in County Galway, Ireland. He was married to Catherine NOLAN. They had at least three children, Mary b:@1864, Annie b:@1866 and John Henry b:@1873 or 1875. I believe all three children came to Boston, Ma. in the early 1880's. There may have been more children. Other than the above I have nothing about this family. Any and all help will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tom McGinty tmcginty@mediaone.net

Dear Family and Friends, http://www.fayfamily.org The Fay Family now has a home page on RootsWeb and we hope that all of you will visit and send suggestions and comments about what is there and what you would like to see there. Our goal is to provide a starting place for all who are interested in the Fay family. We do not plan to include all of the information which is available, but we would like eventually to provide pointers TO all of the information. In connection with this, we hope that you will write to us with: YOUR home page address. If you have a homepage with any information about the various branches of Fays, please let us know. We will provide a link from the Fay Family page to yours, so that all may find and visit you. BOOKS which you have found helpful. We have some of the obvious ones listed already, but we need more. Where have YOU found material? If the material is available on the web, tell us the name of the book AND the web address. If you own the book, and it is no longer copyrighted, scan pages from it, and send the resulting images-- we will put them up so that all can use this source. GEDCOMs.. if you have your Fay family material in a GEDCOM file, let us know.. we will be posting GEDCOMs as soon as we have some. Any thing else which you think would be of interest to all of us! And we are happy to announce that the Dave Fay Website is now replanted at RootsWeb thanks to the combined efforts of several people. Dic Carnes is taking a major role in revising and expanding much of the material originally posted by Dave Fay, whose untimely death was so unfortunate. This new site can be found at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~davefay/ While you are at the Fay Family homepage, please sign the guestbook! Linda Fay Kaufman
