Help the Clay Family Society connect Clay family branches by submitting your lineage for review and integration into our research database.
Why We Collect Lineages
The Clay Family Society maintains a growing research database linking historically documented Clay families and related lines. By combining traditional genealogical sources with modern DNA evidence, we work to identify and connect Clay branches across regions and centuries. Submitting your lineage helps researchers evaluate potential connections and integrate verified lines into our ongoing work.
What Happens After You Submit
1. A CFS editor reviews the lineage you provide.
2. The information is compared with existing Clay family branches.
3. If the lineage connects to a known branch, it may be integrated into our research database.
4. If additional information is needed, a CFS editor may contact you.
