Welcome to the McDormand Genealogy Web Site

This site is dedicated to tracing the descendants of William McDormand & Mary McIntyre and sharing that information with our family. The name McDormand has over the past 300 years has evolved into 4 different spellings: McDormand, MacDormand, McDermand and MacDermand.

Over the past 10 plus years my total family tree data base has grown to 29,820 people with 3,781 different surnames. There is a saying "a lie told often enough becomes the truth" and nowhere does that saying hold true more than in Genealogy. Family Tree information is gathered from such a wide variety of sources invariably errors will be made, those errors will be published and those published errors will be copied by others. Please let me know if you can correct or add to any of my information.

In addition to the genealogy information I have also compiled a collection of photographs, newspaper clippings, documents, book excerpts and other information. Through this web site I can share that information with the family. If anyone wants to add to this collection please let me know.

Data Base Information

The first 6 generations which are published here contain the following surnames which appear at least 30 times:

McDormand 336	McDermand 464	MacDermand 12	MacDormand 96	Buckman 80	Cossaboom 476	Denton 316	Edison 160	Farnham 165	Lent 215
McCurdy 85	McKay 70	McIntyre 82	Medler/Medlar 43	Morehouse 321	Orr 34	Outhouse 472	Payson 98	Peters 241	Titus 474

You may notice as you go through the family tree that some surnames repeat several times. A good example is Juliet Walker who married Wilson McDermand and her sister Eliza married Franklin McDermand who was Wilson's half brother. In addition, Wilson's brother William married Martha Moore and his brother Charles Cormack McDermand married Martha's sister Eliza Moore. This has led me to try connect up some of these families and that has resulted in many people that aren't included in the first 6 Generations as they are not direct descendants of William & Mary McDormand.

Those surnames which appear at least 30 times in my database and aren't already listed above are as follows:
