Hays Family Research
compiled by
Mrs. Eugenia B. Morris (1917-1982)
**with notes and additions by Carol Minson

 

** Note by Dave**

In our Hays family research notes, we have referenced the significant work on the Hays family history by Eugenia Morris which she passed on to Carol Minson.  We have received a number of requests for copies of Eugenia's research which we would like to accommodate. However,  it has seemed a very large and nearly impossible task to complete as it has been integrated over the past 3 decades into multiple files and notebooks with Carol's personal research and notes mixed in.  I have attempted here to present a majority of Eugenia's typed pages. However, there are handwritten notations and corrections made on the pages for Carol's personal research notes which may or may not benefit other readers. Additionally we have included some documents, not part of Eugenia's research, that hopefully may assist other Hays family researchers.
