Gidday, My family of Dwane's start in Limerick,Bruff. Ihave been doing re search for some time, as has my cousin. Have come to something of a blank at the moment as we can't find records of our great great great grandfather Michael Dwane. Would be most interested in your reply. Phil.

My father, John Dwane (b. 1925) was born in County Cork (Bantry). His father was David T. Dwane, who was post master general. All of his brothers, save two, have passed away. Dr. Frank Dwane now lives in Dublin. And David Dwane, my uncle...no grandfather, lives in London, England. I have an aunt, Kay, who is still living...she lives in Dublin. My uncle Tom passed away about 10 years ago and my uncle Eamon passed away about seven years ago.
My father's father was involved in the Easter uprising in the early 20th century. He also wrote a biography of the Éamon de Valera, the former president of Ireland, who he went to school with as a young boy.
My father now lives in Iowa, USA. My brother, Phil, lives in the DC metro area. I (Christopher) live in the St. Louis metro area. I have three sisters, Colleen, Kerri, and Andra who all live in the Midwest of the USA.

My Dewane (Dwane) ancestors came from Killavilla (Roscrea parish) Tipperary. My ancestors are Denis Dwane and Mary Maher and their 6 children. They emigrated to the US in the mid 1800's. We are trying to identify other Dewane's (Dwane, Divane)

My great grandfather and GG grandfather were both John Dwanes. Sr. was born in Mitchelstown, Cork Ireland around 1812, and was married to Mary Mahoney. They emigrated to Montreal Quebec with several of their children around 1860-65. John Dwane Jr. (my great grandfather) was born in 1852 in Mitchelstown. He started a shoe company with his brother Timothy in Montreal.
