You need to give more information on your Mays ancestors i.e. I have several Patrick Mays so I have no idea who you're looking for.

This is them, my grandmother was Fanny daughter of Isaac. My mother talked alot about Uncle Henry.
I do know some about Isaac and Polly, as they lived near my Mother and she spent time there, there is one daughter still alive Kathleen, she is 90 now and knows very little and would like to know more. If you need to see pics I have them and any nfo you need.
I really wish this had came a few months ago Mom would have been so pleased.
Thanks,
Carol

I don't have Kathleen listed but I have a "daughter Mays" which might be her. Of course I would love any info you could provide and to exchange pictures w/you on the Mays ancestors - I have quite a few. I don't have much info on Isaac and Polly, only what I sent so would love to get your info on them. Why don't you contact me at mary2718m@verizon.net especially if we're going to exchange pictures. Thanks, Mary

I am the grandaughter of Patrick and Bessie Mays. I have very little information other than they lived in McKee, Ky. I have a little info, but Patrick and Bessie had 5 or 6 children. Opal, Lila, Georgia, William,Orbin and I think Shirley. Opal was my mother and she passed away at 34 years of age. I have a little more info if you'd like. I'll check back in a few days to see if you're interested. Lynda
