one of my aunts in my da's side did a genealogy book in the 80's, so i have that. it goes back to the ones who came here. nothing farther back.
i have traced my mom's side here, mostly. they are the not that fertile branch of the family, lol.
i was surprised to find out that 2 gen of dwyers are buried about a mile from me.
only 2nd gen american, but 5th gen chgo irish.

i've also been studying music/voice. i spent about 6 mos in the irish music rabbit hole, and started running into this michael dwyer dude.
i found a couple of dna cousins in oz, and a couple had trees that went back far enough to date to that time, and i found dwyers in them. course i also found other family names, so..

anyway, i dont mind posting info here. here's a link to my tree on myheritage.
i dont vouch for the accuracy, and i need to sort through. there are at least 2 john dwyers and i'm not sure i have them in the right place. my tree is too big to play w til i pay.
