Hi, Dr H.A. Jay was my grandfather.
I live in South Africa. I am the eldest daughter of Teddy Jay.
Pam is my aunt.
i have been trying to put the (?) JAY family history together
for the last 4 years.
The Reeves family gave some info (Dr Jays 2nd Wife was a Reeves)
Wish I knew where my granny Agnes is buried. I know it is Durban.
Dont know where though. Would like to visit her grave site. wish I knew her family.
Also I was told by a U.S. cous that his dad told him that we are of Russian origin. The Jews fled during the Kosack killings and mostly fled to the US. I know there was a name change and this
is the biggest hurdle. some say Jankelowits, some say Segal? WHY?
however, Grandpa WAS born in Kenosha but later in life went to live in Rhodesia. spent time with an uncle in Australia and then back to Rhodesia to finish his studies...THIS IS ACCORDING TO GRANNY WINNIE. There are rumours that he had issues with his dad.
He did invent the refridgeration transportation system for perishables. My dad told me that.
Is there a way that we can get a death certificate of Arnold Jay, HOPEFULL Y the name change will reflect.
