| Introduction |
 |
| Little did John Fay know, as he stepped off the Speedwell in 1656 to embark on a new adventure in a new land, that his descendants would be so numerous, or that, starting in Massachusetts, they would spread to so many parts of the New World, or, indeed, that they would be so interested in HIS life and doings. |
 |
| But we, who are descended from this man, are interested, and we are trying now to trace our roots and map our lines of descent from him. In addition, we are discovering other cousins and other branches of Fays and, indeed, other cousins who spell their names in other ways. There are other colonial American lines, several Irish, English and German lines, and a line from Vermont which has yet to be connected. A great deal of research has been done and much of this is reported on the net. This Fay Family site is trying to gather different strands and weave them together so that all of us engaged in this same search can find and give information. It includes the material put on the original Fay website, as well as material found elsewhere on the web and contributions from family members. For example, the following section includes links to several different websites containing important information about various family groups. |
| BITS AND PIECES |
 |
| Genealogy is often compared to the creation of a jigsaw puzzle: the finding of one missing piece often can lead to the solution of a whole section of the puzzle. Here are some "bits and pieces" which I have gathered from the net. |
|
| The Speedwell's Passenger List |
| is now available here in image and transcription |
