I am Norma and Melvins second oldest son. I have been living
and working in California for over 25 years. I am a sculptor for
SPX films. I am curious if there is any information on my great-grandparents Jay R. Gaisford and Nelly B. Gantt, born
1880 and 1885. Thank you.

I am a distant cousin. (A 4th cousin according to my family tree software program.) I have quite a bit of information on the Gaisford clan. I would love to pass on the information that I have collected over the years if you are interested. I have been able to trace back to your great great great great grandparents, Charles Gaisford and Rachel (Cogswell) Gaisford. There were quite a few Gaisfords and Cogswells from Wiltshire, England, where they lived. I do have added information about Rachel (Cogswell) Gaisford's parents, grandparents, and great grandparents, but I'm not sure on the authenticity of that information.

I would love to have you check the information that I have on your branch of the family to see if you have any added information or corrections. I will send that to you directly by e-mail. Also, do you have any old pictures of your great grandfather, Jay Gaisford, or his parents, William Gaisford and Anne (Guy) Gaisford?

My family is currently doing family history as well. My grandfather, Irwin Robert Kagel, is from New York. His family originated from Austria. He changed my last name to Kagel from Kegel. We have around 13 generations of history. Please keep in touch.

I am David Allen Kagel. I am from Danville, CA. My grandfather, Irwin Robert Kagel, is a native of New York. His parents immigrated to the U.S.A from Austria. My grandfather changed the spelling from Kegel to Kagel. Most of my family lives in California. I hope this helps.

I am a a first cousin to Norma Jean Kagel, daughter of L.W.(Ted) Gaisford and granddaughter of Jay and Nellie Gantt Gaisford. I received some information from Donna Eilts of Minonk regarding the Guy, Gantt, Pickard and Gaisford families. I do have a photo of the William Guy family reunion with my Grandfather, Jay Gaisford as a young man with his aunts, uncles, cousins and mother, Anna Guy. For some reason William Gaisford is not in this family portrait. I do not have a photo of Jay even though it seems that my father did have one at some time. I would love to have the information on the Gaisfords which Cindy Pickard says she has.
