These are the descendants of Spanish settlers in colonial Florida, the vast majority of Floridanos left for Cuba after the Anglos took over, but few remained in Florida.
I'm also a Floridano descendant myself, my ancestor was Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the 1st governor of Spanish Florida & the founder of St. Augustine (the 1st city in the United States), many people from the Jaliscan Highlands are descendants of Menéndez de Avilés, which makes them descendants of the Floridanos.
