The maternal side of my tree is Scots. Male and females alike have surnames as middle names and very useful that has been. The most amazing one was a brother of my mother whose middle names were Charles Smith. I was stunned when Charles Smith proved to be my mother's 6 x great great grandfather, born in 1698. They were basically an uneducated family and I often wonder how the knowledge was passed down the generations.
