The Dwanes of Ballinguiroe in Kildorrery
Cork
My father, David Dwane, was born on April 1, 1919 to James and Margaret Dwane (née Ryan) in the district of Kildorrery in Cork county. Ballinguiroe was listed as the “dwelling place.”
He was part of a big family and emigrated to the USA along with a few of his brothers (John, Michael and Garret) but hasn’t very good about keeping in touch. I know that he also had brothers named Jim or James, Ned (which I assume was short for Edward) and Paddie or Patrick.
My wife and I are planning on visiting Ireland in September and would like to visit the area where my father grew up and possibly say hello to any of my relatives who are still in the area.
Any information that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
