Ok, I know this could be a really dumb question I'm posting. I like to know where this name originates from. My family says its Ireland but find some people tell me it's England. What gives here? My 3rd g-grandfather came to the USA in 1852-3. Born in 1821 as Peter Tyre and the name changed to Tyer before 1860.
Can anyone shed some light here? Thank you in advance for your time!
