Wow, that’s cool. Your people must have been checking the passports of my people.
We didn’t get here until 1607 on the Godspeed.

Virginia county libraries have Virginia Rooms. They keep, among other things, the Pasajeros de los Indies ~ the record of passengers crossing the Atlantic ~ because there are a number of Virginia families (my own for example) who had ancestors on those boats all the way back ~ I think the earliest date is 1538. Presumably they went somewhere in La Florida. But there are Englishmen and Frenchmen on those lists ~ not just Spaniards!
