Nope, Iain. Some of my best friends are Scots, but on my father's side
we're originally from Poland 4 and 5 generations ago. My grandfather
changed his name when he couldn't get work. That is how most Martins in
the USA got their name - it's the second commonest name in our phone
books, after Smith (most of whom also probably didn't bring it with them
over the water.)
