Are there any Dwyer/Dyer families originally from Maine that settle in Michigan, maybe up near Alpena? I can't seem to locate even one member of this Dwyer/Dyer family that he came from. I have no names for his parents. However, he was supposed to have had many brothers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
