There are some uncertainties involved with the ancestry of the group, but it is likely that the earliest ancestor in the area was Michael Coogan, who was born in Ireland and appeared in the 1860 California Census. Two brothers (probably sons of Michael Coogan), Michael Coogan and James Coogan, were born in Ireland and emigrated to the United States in the mid Nineteenth Century. Soon after settling in California and taking up the mining profession, Michael was killed in an accident. His brother remained in the area, primarily in San Andreas, for many years. This family has also been found as COGAN. We are currently looking for someone to link with this family and to take over the search! ************************** 01.
