well, the adoptees might just be the most fun part of all this.
got a message back from a dna cousin in australia today. sent them a message asking if they were dwyers. got back that she is an adoptee, and has no idea.
she has to be a dwyer because as far as i have seen, they are the only relatives i have that landed there.
how fun to tell a displaced 85 yo 100% irish woman that she is descended from such a hero.
