One of the US Guideras just visited the family grave site of the John Guidera family. Attached are pictures. From the St. Patricks chuch in Couraguneen. I was wondering if anyone had any further information on this family. It is erected by D&P Guidera. Any related gravesites of that family or historical information would be appreciated.
Hi,
It is difficult to read the dates on the gravesites. Can you provide additional info on this family. When did John live? Was he married? When and to who? Any children?
Regards- Mary

I have all the background on through ancestry, but wondering if there is any local history on the Guideras that is not available through the traditional means.
It sounds like you aren't looking for research. Have you contacted the parish or investigated a historic society?
Couraguneen, Co. Tipperary in 2021
A video of the old St. Patrick's Church and the new St. Patrick's Church in Couraguneen in County Tipperary. The old St. Patrick's Church was built in 1812 of which only the facade remains. It was replaced by the present St. Patrick's Church next to it which was built between 1982 and 1983. This Roman Catholic Church is one of six churches in the St. Cronan's Cluster (a recent amalgamation of Roscrea, Bournea and Kyle-Knock Parishes) in the Diocese of Killaloe.
Yes I live in Couraguneen, in the parish of Bournea. The Guiders lived in the townlands of Cullahill and Kylanna and are burried in the Church graveyard in Couraguneen. I am Chairperson of Bournea Reaching Out Historical Society and I can give you some information on them if you email me on bourneareachingout@gmail.com

Thank you to you both. Appreciate the responsivenss.
Looking for Dwyer or O'Dwyer name originally from this county (have so little info) and immigrated to Boston, 1800s
Our Mary Dwyer went to New York and married John guidera. There are so many of that name. Her parents were Thomas and Ellen Ryan Dwyer from Cashel.
Mulloy- Mary Dwyer had brothers and sisters who went to the Boston area. We have an article that Richard Dwyer, Thomas Dwyer and Thomas Davies visted them from Boston. Mary's parents were Thomas and Ellen Ryan Dwyer from Cashel, Tipperary County. Not sure if that is helpful. Lots of Dwyers.
