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.
Membership is open to
all 'Kays', irrespective of surname spelling e.g. Kaye,
Key, McKay etc. We also welcome all those non 'Kays' related
by marriage who have a 'Kay' in their family line somewhere
and are interested in exploring the 'Kay' side of their
family history. Those who started our Association were Lancashire
based Kays who have since been joined by many Yorkshire
Kayes. The majority of our members today can trace their
ancestry back to either Lancashire or Yorkshire.
We would welcome the opportunity to help you with your research.
We regret we are unable to research on behalf of non members.
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.
