http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/07/national-library-of-scotlands-historic-photos-on-flickr.html Here is another article. The National Library of Scotland has made available over 2000 historic photos including the the order for the massacre at Glencoe. http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/07/scottish-author-seeks-descendants-of-6500-lost-boys.html And this is about the search for 6000 lost Scottish boys from a boat called the Mars. About IE8- when I was upgraded to it I could not get onto alot of sites so I went back to 7. I am no computer expert, but use it daily, and it was a pain in the neck. Sue

Actually, as a computer scientist, I can tell you that Microsoft is the culprit here. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) writes the open standards for how web sites are to be built, and, thus, how browsers are to display the information when built to the standard. Unfortunately, MS has built a broken browser (version 8) that won't display certain properly-written web sites. Ken On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 04:56, Ray W.

I also had problems with older versions of Internet Explorer on my website, schwegler.us. It would bring up the home page and display it but you didn't see it as it was designed, pictures overlapped, etc. It was built using Netscape which is no longer supported but I still use it because it's available as freeware.

I too am a computer programmer. Like it or not, Microsoft is the standard. By a wide margin, Internet Explorer is the browser of choice. That may change some day but for now, the vast majority of users are going to choose it. That isn't news to anyone. An elitist attitude and bashing Microsoft is not going to change reality. Smart business people know that. In my humble opinion, Microsoft has done a fantastic job providing free browsers for many years. Internet Explorer 8 is no exception. There are many amateurs out there putting out code riddled with syntax errors. Many even get paid for it. The IE browsers do a darn good job of guessing what each of them were attempting to do. I have been using IE8 ever since it went GA with little or no problem. I have read some of Eastman's commentary and do not find it particularly impressive. Blaming his inability to conform to IE8 browser requirements on Microsoft is childish. Sorry, Folks, I know this is off topic. I will refrain from any further rebuttals.

I get his articles daily and he is a very well known genealogist and is not a joke- he knows everything and everyone connected with the genealogy world. He has great information on his daily list. When I was upgraded to 8 I couldn't read his newsletters so I switched back to 7. They really are excellent and you need to read more of them before you make a remark like that. The recent ones have been on a lighter vein. Sue Ray W. Justus wrote: > This guy is a joke!

Someone asked me if Robert Maxwell, a judge in Randolph County, is related to Hu Maxwell's family, which would be my husband's family. I looked in the Tucker and Randolph County books, and Robert is mentioned quite a bit in the Randolph Co book and seems to be involved in trials with the Minears, who are definately related to my husband's family. Does anyone know how he fits it? Thanks, Sue Maxwell

I've "rescued" a group of three photographs all identified as Ava G. MAXWELL at age 4 months. The first two are taken at the Gauvin Studio in Burlington, Vermont and the third photograph at the Longfellow Gallery in Portland, Maine. I don't know if the family actually traveled between these two locations, or if the photographer may have traveled. The handwritten notations are all made by the same person. Thanks to a MAXWELL Family Researcher I know the following about Ava and her family: Ava G. MAXWELL b. Jan 1891 in VT to parents Edward Tucker MAXWELL (b. 1859 in Portland ME) and Margaret GRAHAM (b. 1866 in Canada). Ava had a brother, Roger MAXWELL b. May 1897 in Boston, MA. Ava married in Boston, MA and had a dau b. in MA in 1921. I am hoping to locate someone from Ava's family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hello to all. With all the interest shown in the last month,I wonder if any one has come across the these people. Robert Maxwell born abt 1805. Diocese Of Elphin Connaught Province Ireland. Married 1830 Catherine Lindsay born abt 1809 As above. Two children that I know of Thomas born 1841 William born 1835 Both in Drumcliff Sligo Ireland Regards John Maxwell Australia.

I have Hugh Maxwell (1800-1860) who left County Down in 1830 and came to America with his wife Agnes Graham Maxwell and several children. They were joining the parents and four adult brothers of Agnes who arrived in 1828 and settled near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. John and Ann Morrow Graham brought their sons: William, Christopher, John and James. They were Presbyterians. I have never known who his parents were or where in County Down they lived before coming to America.

Hello John, I see you are in Australia. Our Maxwell ancestors came to America abt 1780 to Pennsylvania and settled in Ohio County, Virginia abt 1785 pre Ohio statehood in 1803. A line of Lindsay descendants traveled with them and settled in the same area. Last ancestor born in Ireland was my 5x g-grandfather, Charles Maxwell b 1777 Ireland d 1857 Wintersville, Jefferson County, Ohio. Charles' sister, Jane Maxwell b 1767 Ireland d 1857 Cross Creek, Jefferson County, Ohio. Jane married Daniel Dunlevy b 1768 Sligo, Ireland. I do not have documentation on where in Ireland our Charles Maxwell was born but felt it must be close to the Sligo area due to the fact the Dunlevy and Lindsay families are documented from the Sligo area of Ireland. Would love to hear more about Sligo and the surnames Maxwell, Dunlevy and Lindsay lines from the area. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can prove connections of these families in Ireland before they traveled to America around 1780-1785. Good luck to all searching, and would love to connect with possible descendants of any surname listed in early Jefferson County, Ohio. Christine Joy Maxwell P.S. Other surnames associated with our line are Patterson, McClain, Coe, Long, Jones, Ormsby, Hays, Ekey, Winters, Cole, Ball who all appear on census records starting with 1790 in Northwest Territory, Washington County through the late 1880s in Jefferson County, Ohio. All came to America from Ireland. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 3:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: MAXWELL Digest, Vol 5, Issue 2 Digest readers - if you prefer reading the Digest in MIME - drop me a note at [email protected] and I will take care of it for you.

Hi Sue, I believe I understand your situation as it is similar to my own paternal ancestry. First of all, not all Maxwells descend from a single ancestor, at least not during the last 1000 years.  In case you don't already know, Maxwell is the name of a clan that lived in southwest Scoutland in the vicinity of Wigtonshire and Kirkcudbrightshire.  When surnames came into use some centuries ago, male members of the clan adopted the clan name whether or not they were related to the chieftan because the clan was their identity, not the family.  (The scottish clans were the last tribal society in Europe.) I suggest that you have DNA work done on your male Maxwell relatives.  It could help you distinguish relatives from non-relatives. I have reservations about putting family history on Facebook.  I have posted a lot of data on WorldConnect but only of people who have died.  Identity theft is much too common to risk exposing the family history of living relatives.  The one thing about WorldConnect that I don't like is that you cannot post photographs or images on that website.  If there were some way they could do that it would be much more helpful.  I have quite a few photos of the Maxwells.  Philip Turner Rockville, Maryland ________________________________ From: Sue Maxwell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, December 23, 2009 3:00:16 PM Subject: [MAXWELL] Maxwell and Maxwell My husband and I are both Maxwell's by birth. His line has many people researching it and there are many cousins around. He is descended from Robert and Elizabeth Maxwell of Penn, through, Thomas and Jane Lewis who moved into WVA, Levi Maxwell and Sarah Haymond, Rufus Maxwell and Sarah Jane Bonniefield, Cyrus Maxwell Sr and Melvina Jane Adams, Cyrus Maxwell Jr and Mattie Sparks. I have a ton of information on the Maxwell's because Hu and CJ. sons of Rufus and Sarah Jane Maxwell, who were the two historians of the family. We inherited everything. I would like to start something on facebook or a blog where we could all get to know each other. I know there are tons of relatives out there and it would be fun to exchange information and get to know each other better. I have met some of the relatives but know, from research, that there are more out there. My bloodline seems to be uninteresting to people, as I never find anyone researching it. I will give it, though, just in case. My father was Robert Hamilton Maxwell, then comes Robert Reginald Maxwell and Francis ( Fanny) Lawrence, then comes Robert Alexander Maxwell and Clotille Delafield Blankman ( I have a ton of information on the Blankmans), then comes Alexander Maxwell and Caroline Hubbard Jones, James Maxwell and Barbara, and then possibly another James who immigrated. I know all of the sidelines, as a great aunt did alot of research, but there are many divorces in this line so it is confusing. So this is an email to find out if anyone has more info, would like more info on my husbands line and start a site, as well as to see if I have any relatives besides the few I know about. My husband and I are not related by DNA, so one of us was not originally a Maxwell.

This message was "bounced" off the list last night due to my error.....Max --- On Tue, 12/29/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: To the many Maxwells, Thank You for the kind words received via recent emails. It is a real pleasure for me to read the daily postings! Also, the DNA kit numbers were originally coded upon the request of some contributors. However, the processing laboratory soon blew our secrecy cover and began releasing the donors' numbers. It was a good decision by Ken to go back to the original kit number. A bit of history may help in your search. In the early and mid 1700s, William Penn encouraged the Scot-Irish (many Maxwells) to settle in Lancaster County and the Germans into York County. The separation made sense because of difference in language and religion. A treaty with the Indians in 1736 opened up the GREAT VALLEY and the Scot-Irish literally flowed into this valley that led from Carlisle (my current home) to Tennessee and the Carolinas. Olde federal highway #11 runs through Carlisle to New Orleans! At the head of this great valley Cumberland County ( and Carlisle, the county seat) became like a funnel with immigrants from Lancaster County, Philadelphia and Delaware pouring through on their wagon trains. From 1750 to 1771, Cumberland Co. stretched westward to the Ohio River , with the courthouse at Carlisle. Prior to the Revolutionary War, my estimate would be that 90% of the Virginia, Carolina, & Tenn Maxwells lived in or traveled through Cumberland County. After the war, The direction of travel was to West Va. and Ohio. Sorry for the length of my email, but it may help researchers get onto the proper trail.........Max
