The McIntires I suspected were related to my mother were located around 1900 in Sommervell Co, Texas, near Nemo. The dates were right as the name of Charles McIntire, born in 1877, was listed in the census in 1890 but was not listed with his family in 1900. He showed back up in the census in 1910 and his death was listed in 1917. My mother was told she was born in 1908 and her father disappeared shortly thereafter. He could easily have showed back up in Texas for the 1910 census and would have been 31 when my mother was born. The only drawback is that when I wrote several letters to the remaining family in Sommervell Co. they refused to even acknowledge my letters. I was completely ignored. I have no way of checking further and I find I'm not even interested. If they are related to my mother, and left her with strangers to raise, and then would not even put my mind at ease about the relationship, I choose not to know them anyway. You are a gentleman and I would be delighted to be related to you. Thank you for your letter, my best wishes to you, always. Betty
