Affleck is an Old Scottish name and can either mean 'Field of Stones' or 'Field of Flagstones'.The Afflecks were also the Standard Bearers for the Earl of Crawford.If Crawford was going to battle, it was an Affleck that carried his coat of arms standard flag and usually first to be targetted for morale purposes, so it's a miracle there are so many of us around.There is an Affleck castle at Monikie is Scotland.It is a ruin now and it is not open to the public, however there are a good few articles, pictures, plans and history posted on the internet .
My own geneaology is quite short, I get lost after my grandparents.My dad is William Wood Affleck married Dorothy Kay in Coatbridge Scotland.My dad is from Bathgate, Midlothian, Scotland.My Grandfather was Also William Affleck, Bonnyrigg, Scotland.I know i have relatives in Texas, Canada and Australia, but i don't know exactly where the line starts.
