In a broader sense, the term applies to all people who arrived on the archipelago during the first years of Lovia's existence, i.e. people who arrived on the first journeys of the Francis II and other boats. This broader sense is however not used by historians; it is merely used by Lovians to narrate their family history. Among the unofficial or later 'founding fathers' are Sir John Lashawn and Edward A. Ramsley. These people are not founding fathers in the original sense but are well known early settlers.
