Very cool, I work with some folks that can trace their families back that far.

My dad seems to think there may have been some that came earlier, but the farthest back we have been able to confirm is 1598.

My family on both sides has been in Florida since the 1700s. they did not come straight to Florida tho. They came from the Western Islands of Scotland to North Carolina then to Florida.

I once saw a 1741 census of the Island of Colonsay and the names were exactly the same as all my friends and school mates in Walton County, FL. There were even several names I did not know were Scottish such as “Blue” or “Currie”. Both common in my hometown.

My family can be traced back to before Port Royal was established in 1605. The Catholic Church kept excellent records.
