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.

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’  

We finally moved house to Ashington on 3rd July. Packing seemed to take forever and we then had to overcome the logistics of moving from a large modern house with four bedrooms, two bathrooms plus downstairs toilet, three reception rooms, a double garage and a large loft to a small, run-down cottage with three bedrooms, one bathroom with no separate toilet, two reception rooms, no garage and no usable loft! Our first task was to construct a large shed to cram full with boxes so that we could then move around inside the house! Once I have cleared my work backlog I do intend to add some more material to this site so please bear with me and keep coming back to check for updates.
