http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 26 October 2013 Researcher (Location): CRG Sponsor (no links to a researcher yet) Research: This is the family of Thomas Coogan. According to his obituary, he was born in Ireland and emigrated to the United States around 1870. This is probably incorrect: most records state that he was actually born in Liverpool, England, where he lived for most of his young life. He eventually emigrated to the United States and chose Evansville (Vanderburgh County), Indiana, to be his home. Thomas' son, Harry Bronson Coogan, moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and later to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Harry's wife and children later moved to California. Thomas' other children continued to live in the Evansville area for much of the Twentieth Century. We are currently looking for someone to link with this family and to take over the search! ************************** 01. [ male01 ] COOGAN Children of [ male01 ] Coogan: 02.
