I am looking for the surname DUNMIRE or a variation thereof (Dunmuir, Dunmere,etc.) Samuel DUNMIRE is born about 1832 to a Samuel dunmire,Sr. The search has been in 1850 from M.D. to W.Va. and Pa Family tradition has it that this name is Scotch though most Dunmire's came from Germany originally as Dormeyer's.Have found no connection there. Sam Jr.'s two wives are both Scotch or Scotch Irish (McGuire and Carmichael), he lives mostly in Scotch ethnic communities, and his children are named Wm. Alexander,Samuel Gideon Sarvis, Daniel Edward, Sylvester BakerClinton, Almeda, Minerva,Laura, Warren and Walter. In using the usual names sequences there doesn't seem to be any strongly German names. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Ann agatha1@flash.net

My uncle spelled his name DUNMYER. He was born in Pa. but other than his birthday date and death date that is all the information I have.
