The Kay Family Association UK was formed in 1998 and currently has over 100 members. Founder President is Lord Shuttleworth JP, who has Kay connections. The aim of the Association is to promote interest and encourage research in all aspects of Kay family history. Membership is open to all 'Kays', irrespective of surname spelling e.g. Kaye, Key, McKay etc. In 2002 and 2003 the association successfully completed two DNA projects, aimed at looking for genealogical links between Kays in Lancashire and Kayes in Yorkshire. Included were members living around the world from Australia, New Zealand, Belgium and the USA - see the very interesting results on their web site. The Entwistle connection comes through perhaps the most famous Kay of all: John Kay, inventor of the Flying Shuttle - his mother was an Entwistle.  www.kayfamilyassociationuk.com/
