Seems the Pirate Story is one that most people with the last name Casto have in common. Even when there is no clear connection in the family tree. Many people make an assumption that Casto is Hispanic in origin. Though there appear to be variations of the name from all the major European countries many of the Casto clan in America claim to come from William Casto around the 1600's, an Englishman. I've seen the origin listed as being Scottish, Welsh, English, French, German, and yes even Spanish. Based on what can be proven and what is rumored one thing seems to be true, the Casto family is 100% American. A true melting-pot made up of a multitude of nationalities. - Xavier Casto, Wisconsin, USA xavier@casto.net
