Ray Genealogy
Welcome to My Family Tree!
I am Pat Ray Scheele and with the help of many others have created these web pages. Please always check the information yourself as I have been known to error. This information is from years and years of research and letter writing. I try to provide the researcher's names for all that have helped but must admit that my notes are not always real complete.
My Ray family hails from Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. Prior to the early 1700's it is anyone's guess where they were located. Our best guess is England.
Let's start our journey! Starting with Lew Wade Ray, my grandfather.
