401 Kaye Births by Location

Revision Date:January 2002

The oldest ancestor of the Kayes in my family tree is Joannis Kaye who married in Hamme (present day Hamme-Mille) in 1722. However, I have not been able to determine where he was born.

I have included all of the Kayes that I have found in the following table. In some of the Kayes born in Belgium, I have not been able to trace them to Joannis Kaye. I am concentrating my research on these individuals in the hope of finding where Joannis Kaye was orginally from.

The births in USA and Canada are descendants of Joannis Kaye which emigrated from Belgium.
