According to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:One_Name_Studies, the list of existing One Name Studies is on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:One_Name_Studies.

Yes, I looked there and Dwyer is not listed and I'm certain I saw it mentioned in a daily email a week or two ago. I've been sick with the flu for a couple weeks.

Sorry to tell you that a Dwyer ONS does not seem to exist, cf.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Dwyer_Name_Study (which results in a "Page Not Found" error msg). I've tried other searches as well but whatever you saw in that email, it wasn't on WikiTree :(

If there is an official WikiTree One Name Study then it normally appears at the top of the surname page. So for example on https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/DWIGHT there is a box at the top right labelled "Dwight Project" that links to the Dwight ONS. There isn't an equivalent at the top of https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/DWYER, so I don't think there is yet an official WikiTree ONS for Dwyer.

Looking back through the weekly emails, there was one on the 11th January that said "One Name Studies — projects organized around a surname — are one of the most popular ways to collaborate on WikiTree. Look for a "{{name}} Project" button here or check the index for any surname. If there isn't an active project to join, start one!" where {{name}} would in your case have said Dwyer, so maybe that's what you remember seeing?

That's exactly what I saw! Thank you Paul.
