• Notes

  The Staats Family have never used the prefix "Van" before their name as their name was conferred upon them rather that being used by them in America to indicate where they came from in Europe. The first staats was one Joachim Guyse of Holland. He was a Rear Admiral and second in command of the Hollard Fleet at the time of rebellion against Spain 1567. At the gathering of the Grand Council of Holland he gave as his opinion that they should become Staats. Joachin Gye performed many courageous feats and saved Holland from ruin. The Grand Coucil conferred the name Staats upon him meaning states. He was made an Admiral over the fleet and granted the coat of arms still used in the Staats Family today.
