I would like to invite you all to also join the McIntyre ROOTSWEB list spelt TYRE not TIRE. We have almost 200 members now. Many of the spellings being different through the generations. It is wise to not limit your research to the one spelling. Especially with this name. I used to be very proud that my family was McEntyre and that we were very rare. Then I discovered my Great Grandfather had spelt it both ways before and after his marriage. The spelling of this name was not so important 200 years ago. This is where you will find all those lost links. Look at the other spelling variations. Try MCINTYRE-L-request@rootsweb.com subscribe I'm sure that if we all stick together and cross post to the different spelt Newsgroups we will get some more links. I don't know how many members are on the McIntire list or if that list has an Administrator, but I have been trying to build up the membership on the McIntyre list as I believe this spelling to be the most common in the world.
