Welcome to my web site which is mainly devoted to all things relating to the history of the surnames Linter and Lintern. Over the course of time I intend to publish as much information as time allows. As a general rule I will be limiting this to data which is at least seventy years old but I will extend this to more recent material if there is nothing potentially embarrassing to anyone living today. Further, I will not be including any details, other than names, of any living person unless that individual requests that I do so.

I have also started adding some information relating to other (non-Linter) branches of my family tree.

I have intentionally attempted to design my pages such that users with older display equipment should, in most cases be able to view the information without having to scroll to the right.

Having found that I was still not getting any time to spend on the family history, I have recently made some big life decisions which should make a difference and enable me to reclaim some leisure time so please keep coming back to check for new material. I have just added a page for Sheila Linter who was a young actress in the mid 20th Century. Does anyone have any further information on this lady? Also, thanks to my cousin, Simon Linter, I am now in the Linter Group on Facebook which already boasts a large membership and should yield some useful information.

If you have any photographs you can supply for the gallery of Linters I would be very grateful to hear from you. Finally, an appeal to anyone with elderly relatives; if you haven’t already done so, you need to get them to identify the people and places in your family photographs before it’s too late. Believe me when I say that there is nothing more frustrating than inheriting unidentified pictures.

Please send any enquiries relating to this site to my email address which is ‘graham@linter.co.uk’
