Morning, I've done a bit of research into the FAY's in Northern Ohio. As it stands right now I do not have a known link between your FAY and the ones I know of. Perhaps someone else already has that link. My info is by no means complete though, as I've only within the last month started exploring my wife's FAY side. My knowledge of the FAY's in northeast Ohio, I will be reposting to the list, later on tonight. There has been an update since my last FAY line posting a couple of weeks ago. So far I have seen two FAY lines in the area, one descended from John FAY, who emigrated from England in the 1600's, and a second line who came down from Canada. I know very little about that second line right now. Though I can forward that to the list also.
