Hi Blair: Have you tried some of the lists: http://genforum.genealogy.com/lemire/ http://www.genealogytoday.com/surname/finder.mv?Surname=Lemire http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.lemire/mb.ashx With no dates for reference, it is impossible to give further help. Suggest you post to a couple of these boards but ensure you put a date. Have you found this person on an census?
