has survived.There are about 30 people on my branch, I've only just been handed my pedigree
I am 41 ,and for years i've wanted to know my ancestry,what a surprise,to discover that we are so closely related if any one is curious My father is Reece Dwyer,his father is James Dwyer,his mother
is Ellen Catherine Chivers married John Dwyer (no Relation),Her mother is Esther Dwyer
Married George Chivers ,Her father is Peter Dwyer,his father is Michael Dwyer (the wicklow chief)
So as you can see the direct lineage is there .God bless my great Grand mother's for bringing the name back to our family. please feel free to contact me ,as I am very proud to be a Dwyer
I have written a few tunes For the home land . Please understand that I am going to release them in Ireland soon .
Yours sincerly Troy Dwyer
They rose in dark and evil days
To free their native land
And kindled here a living blaze
That nothing shall withstand;
Alas, that might should conquer right,
They fell and passed away
But true men, like you, men,
Are plenty here today.
Then here's their memory, let it be
To us a guiding light
To cheer our fight for liberty
And teach us to unite!
Though good and ill be Ireland's still,
Though sad as their your fate,
Yet true men, be you, men,
Like those of 'Ninety-eight.
Please note change of venue - from Derrynamuck to Knockanarrigan - for the 11 o'clock start of next Sunday's event.
