The Kay
Family Association UK was formed in 1998 and currently we
have over 100 members. Our founder President is Lord Shuttleworth
JP, who has Kay connections. The aim of the Association
is to promote interest and encourage research in all aspects
of Kay family history.
Since our inception many family records have been submitted
by members. One of our current projects is aimed at developing
a computerised database and entering all these records.
The aim is to enable easier access to archive data and draw
attention to possible links between family lines.
In 2002 and 2003 we successfully
completed two DNA projects, aimed at looking for genealogical
links between Kays in Lancashire and Kayes in Yorkshire.
Included were members living around the world from far apart
places such as Australia, New Zealand, Belgium and the USA.
The Kay Family Association USA joined in with sponsored
entries for a group of their members, all believed to descend
from an ancient family line originating in Lancashire.
