My researches involve the following names:
McNEILLY (Scotland >> Grenada West-Indies >> USA & Canada);
MOORE (Grenada West-Indies >> Cuba >> USA);
BISENBERGER (Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, USA, other);
KROMHOUT (Provinces of North- & South-Holland in The Netherlands, USA, Canada, Brazil);
ARXHOEK (Provinces of North- & South-Holland area in The Netherlands);
SPIERIEUS (The Netherlands);
VUIJK or VUYK (The Netherlands >> Brazil).
Other names on the list are MOE, TOUISSANT, NYACK, LEEDHAM, BELMA, SLINGER, ALEXIS, GLEAN, LEEDHAM, DE BELLOTTE/BELOT/any spelling (all names mostly in Grenada, West-Indies) and JACKSON (Girvan, Scotland).

I have not found the origins of the McNEILLY branch in Scotland yet. I need help, beginning with, but preferably prior to (brothers?) Alexander & John McNeilly (father William) leaving the Ayr and/or Glasgow area around 1878 for the St.Patrick and St.Andrew parishes in Grenada, West-Indies.
Searching for MOORE relatives is beyond headache; it's a serious migraine. In the USA alone, there are 860.000 Moores.
The name BISENBERGER is a chronic pain since it has been vandalized in dozens of ways.
KROMHOUT is easier, except for Brazil where nobody seems to speak English and all the websites are in Portuguese.
