Welcome all Paty/Patty/Patey Genealogists
Come walk with me as I track my ancestors footsteps
back through the sands of
time.
My name is Fern May. I live in Texas and I am researching the line of my father, Ernest Evert Paty, and all of his ancestors. Our name only had one "t" and was pronounced like Katy. I have found that there are quite a few variations, the most common one being Patty. I am not sure which is the original spelling or correct pronunciation. I am listing his line here in the hopes that someone will see it and can add to theirs and possibly help me with mine. Please feel free to contact me. I have a genealogy database of over 10,000 names on the Paty/Patty families. About 90 to 95% are connected to my lines by birth or marriage.

There are also a couple of books out on the Paty/Patty families. They
are written by Dee Lansford and cover Paty/Patty's from the early 1600's
to the present. It is an excellent source of material. The one I have is
532 pages with a 64 page index of names. To contact Dee, you can write to
her at DLansford@aol.com or at:

Dee descended from the first born son of James Patty and Sarah Clanton
listed in my ancestor table. He was Jesse Patty and was married to Delilah
Doss.
