PS "grof" must be whereof, same as Guhyte or Quhyte is Whyte.

"last by past" is most likely "last bypassed"

Thanks for all the help everyone!
I have now come this far in transcribing the first part (see below). Sometimes it makes no sense at all, but still:

The testament, dative and inventar ad h… effects of
the goods, ….. sawmes of money and debts
pertening the deceist ALEXR. QUHYT, skipper,
burges of Kirkcaldy [within the parochmyr of and ..esdome of Fyf], the tyme of his deceis

Thanks for your help, GR2 and goldie61! I could read some bits, but not enough to have it make much sense.
I could make out the word "relick" which I interpreted as someone left behind, but apparently i am to understand that it means widow?

As you suspected, goldie61, there is a second part to this last will, which I attach. Hope you can help me again!

Who can help me transcribe this text? It is the last will of Alexander Whyte of Kirkcaldy, but I am not at all versed in this kind of handwriting...  :(

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Thomas Carleton, London c. 1600
« on: Tuesday 04 April 17 16:39 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on Thomas Carleton, from London, who was married 1599 in Delft, Holland, to Susanna Leunis (Leunis van Berthem). She was probably born in Antwerp.

Fife / Whyte family of Kirkcaldy (18th century)
« on: Thursday 23 March 17 12:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I am looking for information on and ancestors of a Thomas Whyte from Kirkcaldy, who in 1732 went to the Dutch Indies.
He was possibly baptized in Kirkcaldy 25 July 1708 as son of Alexander Whyte and Alison Hamilton.
Can anyone tell me if this may indeed be his baptism and if anything is known about his Kirkcaldy relations?
Thanks!
