Do you have anything on EVERETT. or MAXEN or THOMPSON? MAXENS became MIXON/MIXSON in USA. Of couse, I am not real sure where THOMPSONS came from and I don't have a straight line of info back to England on EVERETT. I have some info but it definitely is not documented and verified. Maxen was a woodmonger (?) and spectacles maker in London in early 1600s. What would a woodmonger do? I assume spectacles were made of wood back in those days and suppose they were just peices of magnifying glass? Lets see, Elizabeth 1 was still in power at 1600. Thanks. Guess Thompson Simmons

SHILCOTT - Must be a variant of CHILCOTE which was a small cottage or shed used primarly for shelter of humans and animals in very cold weather. BUILDER - Sounds very German; should be spelled BILDER. NUNMAN - Probably the son of a woman who later took holy vows (became a nun). GRISMOND - Literal translation seems to be "swine protector" but I wouldn't put too much faith in that. AULL - Probably means old (Scottish variant of AULD). Gary Radcliffe [email protected]

Gary, the closest I could come on these names was: \ GENDRICH (German [of Slavic origin]) A cognate of 'HENRY', from a Germanic personal name meaning 'home' + 'power'.

EVERETT (English) Variation of "EVERARD", from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements 'eber' (wild boar) + 'hard' (brave, hardy, strong. The surname first found in East Anglia, an area of heavy Norman and Breton settlement after the Conquest, so the name may be of Norman origin. However, it could also have come from an Old English cognate "Eoforheard". THOMPSON (English [Midlands]) Patronym of the diminutive 'Thom', meaning literally 'son of Thom' (Thomas), from the biblical origins. Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges MAXEN/MIXON/MIXSON - found: \ MAXSON (German, English) The son of Max, a pet form of Maximilian (the greatest).

Interrested about the combination of several names and why is it so. Cleeve, Cleeves and Cleave or Cleaves. any thought's THANK YOU Robert Bateman of Melbourne, Australia

I did a google search and it seems that the name is Polish. It has also found it's way to Germany. Those borders changed a lot over the centuries. I've come across many Polish names that had a definite Spanish or Italian flavor but were not related in any way. I wrote an email to one and hope for an answer shortly but meanwhile we'll see what others come up with. Gary Radcliffe [email protected]
