Subject: RE: oral tradition - 'celtic' singing in usa
Hello my name is Dean Smith. My mother was the daughter of John Maxwell. Her name was Jesse Maxwell and she was born to Minnie and John Maxwell in Marble Mountain. She told me that her father spoke Gaelic and was a twin and since then I've been trying to find out more about these twins. I think John died in a mine although I am not sure. My mother was raised in Truro, Nova Scotia and she passed away in February 2000 at the age of 79. She has two brothers whose names are Bill and Gordon who are also the sons of John Maxwell and who currently reside in Truro. I would really like to learn more about the twins and see some pictures if there are any. Please contact me if you know anything.
