A propos de l'origine du nom et du premier ancêtre au Canada dans les maritimes (plus précisément Nouveau-Brunswick) : « I'm guessing you'd be related to the John Twyman who was born in New Brunswick around 1818? I've seen notes of his father (Robert Twyman) being from Ireland, although haven't really come across much to connect him to any family over in Ireland as yet. There were remarkably few Twymans in Ireland (I only have 17 Twymans born in Ireland in my files), and the vast majority of those are children of soldiers in the army...so I do wonder if this was the case with Robert. » (http://www.twyman.ca)

« Il semble donc que notre sang irlandais nous viendrait plus de nos grand-mères ( Leveston et Wall) que de notre ancêtre Robert Twyman. » (http://www.twyman.ca)
