I would first advise joining the McIntyre mailing list as it is bigger at the moment and until it gets too big will be the better place list to mail your queries. There are currently 4 lists catering to this name. I'm trying to convert every body onto the main McIntyre list as spelling of this name is not a major factor when we look at the history of this name. Spelling variations have occurred throughout the generations based on geography, mistakes, differentiation between family members with the same first name and how the person writing the name decided to spell it based on their own spelling abilities. Throughout my life people have mispelt my name. Now I don't care so much. Don't be proud of the weird spelling you have just get on the main list and let's find our cousins.
