Trying to trace Dwyer Family

HI - Thank you for your message.

Most Catholic records are held locally - One site which might be of use is - http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/ - where you can ?browse? an overview of available records per county. If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for possible assistance.

Valuations office in Dublin (http://www.valoff.ie) will have a record of the land registry from 1855 to modern times. This will assist in seeing what happened to any land that the family may have had (as it usually passed on to a relation).

Some sites & services that might be helpful to you include:

The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/

The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx

The National Archives UK ? genealogy search: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/

Irish Newspaper Archives: http://www.irishnewsarchive.com/

Also - Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at ). www.failteromhat.com

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching.

Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
