One fact that I quickly learned from the album is that Michael Hayes' first wife's maiden name was Kane, not Gannon as I had thought. I've added a Hayes genealogy report, showing the descendants of Bernard Hayes. We know there are some who aren't included in it as yet, but I will be revising it from time to time. I can distribute the data base in a couple of different formats, but you must have a genealogy tool to view it. I've received and scanned several photographs that my father had, and I've put a few of them on the Hayes photos page.
More photos are on the way.
I've added the obituary for Bernard Hayes from the North Platte paper in 1907. This obituary is the single best source of information I have on his life. This last anglicization is most common among the five septs originating in the Ulster counties. The name is most common in County Cork, and this is the most likely place of origin for our family.
