Good morning all, Since last I posted anything vital I've found more info on the line down from Benejah Fay. I've been corresponding with various people and have a much better picture, so to speak. Pardon if this repeats info I already shared, but there may be new people on the list who weren't benefited by it before. <G> Sources of the new info is direct word of mouth from Bonnie Jeanne FAY HUNT and a few emails from Donald G HOFFMAN, who is a descendent of Valentine HOFFMAN, a brother to Dora HOFFMAN, who married Edgar B FAY. Also the Parma Heights Historical Cemetery can be counted as a source, as well as Ginger, who is descended from Asa FAY directly. My initial info came from "The History of Parma" by Ernest R. Kubasek published in 1976 by Ernest R. Kubasek and Bernard Survoy. My last source is the audio tape I received from my wife's grandmother. It was recorded by Dr. Dudley Sherman FAY. Apparently it was a speech he was giving that related his FAY history to an unknown group. He was a genealogical hobbyist. LMA Jim & Elicia SHREVE Generation 1 Benejah FAY (b.
