I think serious family research work would have to begin at home in the

Kind of interesting...We have a pretty colorful history, but not all
is that good...
There was a long running feud with another clan due to some acts

Very interesting, Mark.

My Maxwell ancestors kept a solid record beginning with g-g-g-g grandfather born
in the late 1700's. My aunts, my dad 's sisters, organized the data on a long
sheet of grocery-store wrapping paper, which I put into the computer using the
LDS program. So I have the data prior to their leaving Scotland. What I need now
is data preceding that grandfather, which can only be found in Scotland.

However, I'm not as much interested in going back farther, I'd simply like to
know if any of my lines crossed any of JC Maxwell's, which is why I'd like to
see his genealogy list in his museum.

Good Luck with your search, Mark,
