| Your invitation to MMCA Genealogy! Dear MMCA Member, The Micum McIntire Clan Association (hereafter, the Clan) is delighted to announce the launch of a Zoom Interest Group (ZIG) for Updating the Red Book/General McIntire Genealogy and we are particularly inviting YOU! This Zoom Interest Group will have two focuses: 1) Bringing the genealogical information in the most recent (1983) “Red Book” (Micum McIntire genealogy) up to date, and; 2) General Micum McIntire family history and earning related genealogy how-to tools and skills. Updating the Red Book – The “Red Book” is the Clan’s shorthand for the second (1983) edition of the genealogy “Descendants of Micum McIntire,” by Robert Harry Mcintire, so-called because it has a bright red cover. You are not required to purchase a Red Book in order to participate, but having a copy will make your efforts easier. It is not available online (although the earlier 1940 version is). Copies of the 1983 genealogy are available to be purchased through the Clan website: https://micummcintireclanassociation.org/product/micum-mcintire-family-revised-edition/ The Red Book genealogy carries Micum McIntire’s descendants from his own life all the way forward to those descendants whom Robert Harry Mcintire was able to identify in 1983. It includes the great-grandparents, grandparents, or parents of most present-day Micum descendants, so we will be focusing on filling in the gaps from the last 1983 entries in our specific lines to the present. For some families, that could be a lot of people! The Red Book has a specific format for how it describes and presents descendants’ information. We are going to use and fill in that same format as we add information about new descendants. |
| General McIntire Genealogy – Although Robert Harry McIntire’s 1983 genealogy is the definitive work to date, it is not perfect. No genealogy ever is. So our other focus will be on learning basic online genealogical tools and skills to help us to find and fill in any gaps we identify further back in our family lines. The same tools and skills may be of use to you in doing other family history research, as well. Email Jonathan if you’d like to join in a Zoom gathering for members interested in our shared family history and how to track it down. The Zoom gatherings last about 40 minutes and the group will jointly decide how frequently to meet. All gatherings are free of cost, but we encourage you to donate and to join the Clan by submitting your dues—see the website. These meetings are free to members and there is no commitment. Join us for one meeting or join us for them all. I’ll be getting back in touch with those that signed up with a consensus of the dates when most people can make it along with a Zoom link for the date decided on. Looking forward to it! Cruachan!
