The entire worldwide Kingshott family springs up in the late 16th century in Fernhurst, Sussex. As I have said, I do not know where the current patriarch, John Kingett, actually came from but he first appears in the parish registers on 16th June 1600 when he gets married. 

I have traced the vast majority of Kingshott's, worldwide, back to this one family but there are some branches that I cannot yet link in. These branches, however, ALL come back to within 3 square miles of John Kingett, so it is almost certain that we will all be from one family.

The Kingshott family can now be found throughout the United Kingdom, with branches in Scotland, England and Wales. There also seems to be a small branch (of Kingshotte's) in Northern Ireland, though I have not had any contact with them yet.

If you would like to see a page dedicated to "your" branch of the Kingshott's, just drop me a line and let me know about them. If you supply the more modern material, I will supply the historical stuff.

I have been working on this family for a long time, and continue to do so.

The keys to all my questions lie in the parish records and I will find the answers.......
