The EYREs are on the Web!
During my travels on the world wide web, in researching Eyre genealogy, I have found some unique websites featuring the Eyre name.
Some are place names, some are well-known folks, some are just like you and me just trying to carve a niche for themselves in some
way. Websites include those with variations on the spelling of Eyre: Ayr, Ayre, Eyres, etc.
If you know of websites that I am missing and should be listed here - feel free to contact me! All websites open in a new
browser window/tab. Anything I have added to each site's description will be put between [ ].
Well-known Eyre, Ayer, Ayre
Elbridge Ayer Burbank
Burbank is a well-known Chicago-based artist who made it his life work to paint portraits of American Indians. He is most famous for his
portrait of Chief Geronimo. About his journey to the American West, Burbank wrote letters to his uncle, Edward Ayer (who, incidentally,
was the first president of the Field Museum of Natural History). "I have never been so taken with a subject as I am with these Indians,"
Burbank wrote. "I have made arrangements to stay here all summer."

This website presents the Lordship & Barony of Kilmarnock, an area of Ayrshire, Scotland, with an

Eayrestown, NJ
Eayrestown is at the opposite end of NJ from where my Eyres settled for a time in the early 1900's
(Hackensack, Ridgeland, etc). There is no known connection between my branch of the Eyre tree and this town, as
far as I know. However, it is a coincidence that, in some documents, my great-grandfather and his family's last name
is spelled Eayre, instead of Eyre.
