Cat. William Kidd (pirate) was proven to have been born in Dundee in 1654 (not Greenock as originally thought). His father was John Kidd (a mariner who died young) and his mother was Bessie Butchart. Do any of these names ring a bell?
I am distantly related to an illegitimate son of Cpt. Kidd born in Jamaica, W.I.
Any info would be helpful.
