Me too. I am the 13th generation of Seelye (or one of many  variants in
spelling) in North America. Capt. Robert Seeley (1602 - 1666) -  Came to
America 1630 - died on Long Island 10/19/1666.  My dad was  named Robert
Seelye as well.  (Oh, no - watch out, we're almost  talking SCA time-period
here - things really do always come back around to  that, don't they?)


Myself and Mordonna's ex are descended from Dr. Henry Woodward who hit the 
Carolina shores in 1674 or  thereabouts. A few years later, after escaping from 
Spanish "hospitality" he  brought back English Colonists. Apparently the 
Spanish didn't want any English  this far South, but there ya are.

enough people to  make it worth the effort.
