I was over at my folks place this evening and I wore a kilt as I have worn a kilt there ever since I purchased my first kilt. Anyhow my mother has been a genealogy guru for decades and ever since I purchase my first kilt she has been curious to see if there is a tartan that exists for a branch of my father's family that lived on the Isle of Man. The problem is uncertainty about the spelling of the name. My father's grandmother wrote down the name as McNier. In the last obituary with the name it was recorded as Menear. In trying to find more on the family my mother found other possible variants of the spelling which are:
Manear
Maneer
Manere
Manier
Meneer
Menere
Menier
Monear
Moneer
Monere
Monier

I have searched for tartans at men-in-kilts.com, but nothing turned up. I will not be surprised if a tartan does not exist, but I was curious to see if anyone has see a tartan in one of these names and/or know of other places to search.
Thanks in advance,
Nate
