a grand hello to all Maxwells.  I've been very interested in my family name since I visited scotland a few years ago, and have been dying to do a family tree.  The only thing is that it takes tons of research and can be painstaking as my older folk can't find thier parents papers.  It's good to know we have spread far and wide.  I love my surname and am not willing to part with it, even for marriage. Kind regards Louise Maxwell
