My sincere condolences to the Dey Family on the passing of Mary Dey. I would have very much liked to have met Mary and Walter Dey and talked to them about their families in New Brunswick, NJ. Having been born in New Brunswick myself, I have been doing extensive research on the Dey Family in Central New Jersey. I did exchange some emails with your Patrick Dreer, a fellow CAP member, about Walter Dey but we never followed up. I do know that Walter’s parents are Frank H. Dey and Elizabeth Garrigan Dey. However, I do not know Frank Dey’s parents and am stuck at that point and cannot connect him to the main Dey Family Tree in NJ. My email is: TWDUSAFR@AOL.COM if someone in your Dey family would like to research more with me.
Sincerely,
Tom Dey in Carteret, NJ.
Dear Roberta and Barbara Jean and all your family So sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. She was a wonderful friend to me & my family.
