Surnames: Dwanes Duanes
I am interested in connecting to any Dwane / Duane families living in the New York / Boston or Philidelphia area, whose ancestors emigrated to the USA from Cork / Limerick Ireland in the ealry 1900's. The only Dwane I know of is William Dwane / Duane, who arrived in New York from Cobh Ireland in the 1920's.His wife was called Lena. They would have been from the Rockchapel area of Cork and Tournafulla area of Limerick. They lived in Flushing, Maspeth New York and are both buried there.

Not NY or Boston, but 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.
