So far, my BLYTH line is centered around the parish of Ceres in Fife. My search into the BLYTHs began with my Great-Great Grandfather, John BLYTH, a blacksmith and mason, who emigrated to the Falkland Islands in the late 1890's with his wife,Agnes Christina Brown LATTO and 6 children. Initially, I had been told the family came from Kelty-on-Fife, in the parish of Beath - but so far I have not traced anyone there - it is possible John & Agnes only, lived there before leaving for the Falklands.
