G'day Joy, I suppose that most of the "Johnno's" who are in the AU-NZ Niche Group are interested in that particular surname whether it be spelt with a "T", without a "T" or ending in an "E" and the various derivatives, it's generally a Group of people looking for networking in a site specific area. If a inter-marriage concerned another surname and it just so happens to pop-up as a name of interest I'm sure people with a common interest will respond.

Such as one of Johnston branches who married a McInnes? They didn't immigrate until about 1915 or so.
