I have recently discovered that there is a place in Scotland name "Kype". There is also a Kype River in the same locale. The "Annals of Lesmahagow" make reference to Kype and also a William de Kype in 1301. I wonder if this is could be an ancestor of Ruloff de Kype. This would mean that the family is most likely of Celtic or Viking descent rather than being from France. Does anyone have anything to add?
