Hello Amanda,
I have been researching the Teears family name for my mother, who is a Teears. I have recently found two cousins and their families, I believe that you have been in contact with one of them as well. They are brother and sister, Thomas Russell Teears and his sister Eleanor. Thomas forwarded some of the emails that went back adn forth between the two of you. I noticed on one of them that there is a possibility that the name Teears originates from the Tees River area of England. I have tried to research this and have, in fact, found that the name Tears (notice the one e) originates on the Isle of Iona in Scotland, one of the Inner Hebrides. I was wondering what information you have on the origination of the name and if you could share that with me.
One thing that my mother always said was that her brother had researched the name as far back as the Goths. He found that the name was possibly French in origin and was supposed to have meant "door hanger" which we have read to mean a carpenter. Also the name was supposedly shortened from La Teears or La Tee Ars. I can find no documentation of these words in the current French dictionaries. However, Tee in french does mean a T square, such as is used in carpentry.
Anyway (Such a long message!) I would really like to hear from you about your side of the family. I have come to believe that Thomas Teears and Ada Teears were the only Teears to have come to America. I believe the rest went to Australia or New Zealand.
Thank you so much for your help with this!!

hi, is good to hear from another person with this weird and wonderful surname. i'm form Easington Village in County Durham (England) and Teears was my Father's surname who is from nearby horden. As far as I know, my surname is from the Isle of Man, and my descendency was looked up by my grandfather, William Teears, who went to the Isle and found it to be a quite common name. He saw the Teears name adorn shop signs and on streets. Hope this may help you
kindest regards
Ken Teears age 21

Hello there. The Teears family from Durham are relations of my grandfather George and are originally from Manchester. I did find a record of a William Teears from the 1700's who was born in Manchester also. The name William is also my fathers and great grandfathers name and does pop up quite a lot on family tree sites. There has been mention of a mis spelling in the past but I am not so sure as the name Teears has come up before as Dorethea Teears from 1590. I have also heard of a French and scottish link but have not found any information with this spelling either it is Tears or part of another word, not Teears as we know it. There may be a link to County Clare in Ireland I have been told by a great Aunt but again I have had no links to confirm this. Simon Teears.
