Thank you so much .I just love this family tree ,so very difficult for those of us not familiar with the surrounding area or the naming patterns. I did know there were graceys in this tree but not as much as you know. I will put them up on my site before I forget to ,hopefully sometime over the week end. http:downtooz.tribalpages.com/ some letters there you probably like to see . do you have any photos of family members I could use for my tree? I am more that happy to reciprocate wherever I am able to kindest regards merry

hello to everyone and best wishes for the season.
I have been very lucky this past year to have been helped sop much with my genealogy searches all of county down. I have posted these names before,but was unaware that there was such a mucked up connection. james MAXWELL born portaferry 1807 married eliza(beth) MCGIFFERT c 1835 co down I thought she had 3 daughters and 3 sons and couldnt work out why margaret ann Maxwell born 1837 Married to JAMES WARNOCK was not in her father james maxwells will,nor was she mentioned by her aunt ISABELLA MCGIFFERT in letters to usa(MCGIFFERT LETTERS).
I then read henry Mcgifferts will 1864 leaving money to eliza isabella and the rest of the mcgiffert siblings and here is MARGARET ANN WARNOCK and her brother WILLIAM MAXWELL also left goodies from UNcle Henry MCGIFFERT. .I akso see william maxwell married eliza warnockc 1856. very very confusing. almost certain Margaret ann Maxwell and the children from james maxwell and elizabeth mcgiffert are related but i just dont know how. Margaret ann maxwell(warnock) and william maxwells father is named as william. everything seems to be in a huge mixing pot with inter marriages and same names.
can someone help me distinguish between the 2 families and was william and margaret anns father william maxwell a brother of James maxwell ... kindest regards merry
