    1. [INFLOYD] Re: Dwyer in Floyd County Indiana
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3h.2ADE/353.511.886.902 Message Board Post: Dear Joyce I was wondering if the Dreyer's in your Haag family were in Floyd County Indiana? I am researching Edmund (Edward sometimes) Dwyer who married a Sarah Carey in Floyd, County Indiana. I noticed from the church records that the last name Dwyer was not spelled the same way throughout. On baptisms of Edward's children and census it has been spelled Dweyer, Doyer, Duier, Dwier and Dreyer. The census mentions that neither Edward or his wife could read or write, which explains the differences. I notice that there are primarily two groups of Dwyers in New Albany during the 1850's onward. They appear to have stood as sponsors for the various children baptised. I can follow Edmund and his children through Indiana. I'm trying to see if my Edward is related to the other Thomas, Edward and Denis that were in the city at the same time. Any ties you might see would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Stacy
