Surnames: Tyrone Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kNB.2ACI/877.1 Message Board Post: I stumbled accross this website while teaching a class. Anyway, don't know if this would mean anything to you but... My great, great, great grandfather was Adam Tyrone. The story I know is that the family was named O'Neil in Tyrone, Ireland and changed their name to Tyrone once in America. My grandfather, Victor Tyrone, was raised in Mississippi. I have some relatives who showed me a book that another distant relative put together on the Tyrone family. I was told this woman lives in New Mexico. If any of this is of interest to you, e-mail me and I will try to get her name/e-mail address for you.
