Good morning all, Not sure if you were aware but at ANCESTRY online they are offering free searches of Massachusetts vital records. On a whim I typed in FAY under birth records and isolated the search to Sturbridge, MA. I found 32 matches and upon scanning further found actual helpful info. <G> Though at least one item of data does not correspond with info as sent to me out of Orlin P. Fay's book. The parentage of Jabez Fay is listed as Ebenezer & Mary Fay, not Ebenezer & Thankful Fay. Not sure what other disagreements I will find but for your perusal below is the link to the matches. http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=mabirth&gs=&f0=Fay&f3=&f4=Sturbridge&server=search&searchengine=sse.dll&databasename=mabirth&databaseid=4094&Type=F&Submit=Submit Enjoy.
