Be it Kirwin, Kirwan, Kerwin or other spellings, ancestrally, we likely spent time in Ireland. Many Kirwins in the USA descend from famine survivors while others arrived at the beginning of the the 20th century or earlier. In Ireland, our roots seem to center mainly in Kilkenny, Galway, Louth, Dublin or Limerick. Because of the difficulties in tracing such roots, a DNA Project can help us tremendously to narrow the field! We invite you to join us and see where the adventure takes us!
