There are occurrences of the name in the 1500's and 1600's but none that seem to carry forward to the present day. It may well derive from or have a common heritage with Kift, Kief, Kyft and several others. The 1700's being a time when most could not write and those that could used a very fancy "font". With these forms of handwriting it is very easy to see many forms of spelling from a single word.</b></p> </blockquote> </font></td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td COLSPAN="2" width="785"><font face="book antiqua, Times New Roman, Times"> <p align="center"><img src="../_themes/kiff_old/koldrul.gif" width="500" height="11"></p></p> </font></td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td width="164"><font face="book antiqua, Times New Roman, Times"><b><i> <h2><font color="#8D3C05">Are you a Kiff?</i></b></font></h2> </font></td> <td WIDTH="617" VALIGN="middle" align="left"><font face="book antiqua, Times New Roman, Times"><blockquote> <b><p align="left">Are you or someone you know a Kiff? or were a Kiff? or does the name feature in your ancestry?
