How To Use This Web Site

Most pages have navigation along the top, although some have different designs (i.e. they look different). The 'Home' tab, sometimes shown as 'Dwyer Home' will come back to the page you just came from.

The 'Ethel' tab goes to the memoirs of Ethel Dwyer nee Ramsdale, our grandmother.
The 'Bill' tab goes to the memoirs of Bill Dwyer. There are also transcribed diaries from throughout Bill's working life as well as scanned documents, and letters written by Bill and Joan during our stay in New York from 1966-1968.
The 'Rogers' tab has genealogical info and life stories of the Rogers side of the family (our mother's side) - Rogers, Phillips, Kerrison, Cain and Turnbull.
The 'Dwyer' tab has genealogical info and life stories of the Dwyer side of the family (our father's side) - Dwyer, McCraith, Ramsdale, and Boyle.

Note:

We use the Australian standard for dates. 4/8 means 4 August, not April 8.
Pages that refer to people who are not in our direct line (e.g., great great aunts, cousins, etc.) will open in smaller pop-up windows so it is obvious that they are not our direct descendents. But some of their stories are pretty interesting so please explore.

If you have any corrections or comments please contact us. We are always interested in family anecdotes and old photos from any branch of the family, even distant relations.
