First Four Generations of the Lay Line from Connecticut -- Surname Saturday

A Bridge to the Past

Five years ago, I posted a descendant report, Surname Saturday -- LAY (From Connecticut to Vermont to Michigan),
which began with the 5th generation of my Lay line from Connecticut. For many years, that post was the most read article as determined by Google, that post is HERE. It is now in the number 2 spot, which indicates there are a lot of people researching this family. My direct lines are in bold, and if you would like to see my sources, I will be glad to share.
