http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 09 February 2014 Researcher (Location): CRG Sponsor (no links to a researcher yet) Research: This is the family of Michael Coogan. He was born in Ireland and lived in County Sligo. At least two of Michael's children, John Coogan and Patrick Coogan, emigrated to the United States in the mid Nineteenth Century and settled in Chicago (Cook County), Illinois. One of Michael's grand-sons, Michael Thomas Coogan, pioneered to South Dakota and later settled in Los Angeles, California. Some members of this family were firemen. One of them, John J. Coogan, was killed in a horrific fire in Chicago in 1897 (see "Coogan News Stories"). This family has also been found as COOGEN. 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.
