There are 4 lists as far as I know. I manage 3 of them. The other lists are not as busy as this one and I recommend that everybody be at least on this list. MCINTYRE This seems to be the most common spelling in the world these days. If you want to subscribe to the other lists, please do so. Make sure that you use this list as the main one and encourage people on the other lists to join this one as well. Some people on the McIntire list seem to ignore my pleas for them to be on the McIntyre list. They are missing out on a lot of posts and possible connections. McIntire is a purely American spelling. The further you go back in your research the more likely you are to find that it was spelt McIntyre or MacIntyre. People who only research the McE... or McInti... spellings are wasting their time. McIntyre list has about 229 members now. McIntire has 91. The McEntyre list that I manage has 49 members. I don't know about the McEntire list as I don't have access to it. Unfortunately all the lists run independently and cannot be linked. You have to join each one separately. McIntyre is the best and biggest list, so if that is the list you are on then I'd just stick with that list. If I were on the other lists only, I'd want to subscribe to the McIntyre list for my main source of information and contacts. To subscribe to the other lists.
