My branch of the Haye family hails from the Lutheran church parish of Berne in Oldenburg, in what is now known as the state of Niedersachsen in Germany. Common variants of the name are; Haio, Hajo, Haije, Haje, Hayen, Heie and Heien.

A carrier of the name Haye first appeared in 1312 in Blexen. In the ensuing years we find people with that name not only in Butjadingen and in Jeverlande, but also in the city of Oldenburg, 1366 Gerd Haye, 1411 Hei Hinric Heyge, in Moorhausen-Ohmstede 1382 Alart Haye, 1428 and 1438 Haureke Haye, 1462 Beneke Haye, 1487 Gerd Haye, in Hekeln (Stedingen) 1449 Hinrik Haye, 1489 Helmerich Haye, 1494 Dyrik Haye and later also in Gluing and Ollxen. For the next eighty years the name does not appear in any records, until 1581 when Heyn Hay appears in Wustenland. Our branch descends from Fredrich Haye, born in Berne, Oldenburg 14 February 1616.

I have had my Y- chromosome DNA tested for the National Geographic Genographic Project and Family Tree maker DNA. The results indicate that our line of Haye’s belongs to haplogroup I. Haplogroup is about 23,000 years old or older. And specifically to the subgroup I1a. The I1a lineage is thought to have its roots in northern France. It is found today most frequently within Viking / Scandinavian populations in northwest Europe. More details later at www.jessehaye.com

Descendants of Hendrik Lodewijk Bletterman, born 14 february 1704 in Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen, Meindert Jansz Boon, born 23 October 1698 in Bangert Nederland, Jan Cornelis Willem Jansen, born 15 April 1863 in Probolingo Dutch East Indies, and Angela van Bengale, born about 1640 in the Ganges Delta Bengal (Bangladesh) will also find reports on this site. All contributions and or corrections for this page and the reports are appreciated.
