Norma:
We did get your email and it appears that we have a connection.The Michael Francis Cogan who died in 1948 is my Great Grandfather.His son, Michael Francis is my Grandfather.He married Charlotte Retzer and they had three sons; Michael Francis (my father), David and Dennis.I am also named Michael Francis as is my son.Charlotte ( my Grandmother) passed away in Sun City in 1997. As I mentioned earlier, my Granfather moved to Sun City, CA in the early 1970's after retiring from Republic Steel in Cleveland.His brothers John (known as Jack) and James (known as Harry) also relocated to southern California.Jack passed away a couple years ago and Harry is living in Sun City (I think).Apparently, the sister, Mary Smilor passed away about the same time as Jack.My father believes that Mary was living in Rockey River, OH.Jack passed away in either Pomona or Fontana, CA.We have never been very close to anyone but our immediate family and all of the times are estimates at best. We just started looking into this and would appreciate any more info you may have.With your help we were able to confirm that we have six Michael Francis Cogans in a row.It is beleieved that there are eight although we do not know for sure.Do you have any more info or know where to look for the Michael Francis Cogan from Ireland (d. 1904)We are very new at this and any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
