"Main Lines"

HUGH COOGAN
No descendants found yet.


OWEN [CHARLES] COOGAN
James Joseph Coogan
Jim Coogan started researching his family in the early 1990s. He interviewed several relatives, who told him about his Coogan branch back into the first half of the 19th century. When he learned that a cousin, Dottie Coogan, had been researching the family since the 1950s, Jim met with her and collected most of the data she had found. Fortunately for our family, Dottie had learned that some of her cousins had roots in Kingston, NY - and had later 'proved' the family relationships between Jim's branch and the line of Patrick J. Coogan. This website was created by Jim in 1998 - listing the descendants of Owen and Patrick J.


ANN COOGAN DEVLIN
No descendants found yet.


PATRICK JOSEPH COOGAN
Patrick Joseph Coogan JR
Dottie Coogan often visited this family as a child, and she conducted the first research on their Kingston, NY, background in the 1950s and 1960s. In 2001, Christine Coogan Bagliani responded to a letter from Jim Coogan, confirming the family connection. Christine's siblings, Colleen Coogan Collins, Lorraine Coogan Lodge and Robert Francis Coogan JR have also provided valuable information for this line.

Mary Ann Coogan [Sheeley]
Mark Cygler has been researching his Sheeley family and learned that he had a connection to the Kingston Coogan families. When Mark joined the Coogan Research Group in early 2000 (internet), Jim and Pat realized that he must be a relative of Michael Patrick Coogan. Mark's uncle, Bill Sheeley, later confirmed the connection. Bill's cousin, Frank J. Sheeley, and his wife, Arlene, contributed to this line later that year. Frank Ruse, another descendant of Mary Coogan Sheeley, connected to the tree in 2004 (internet).

Michael James Coogan
Pat Connor Coogan began researching her husband's family with her daughter, Aileen Coogan, in the 1970s. She knew that Terrence had one brother named Hugh and that there was a close relationship between the families of Hugh [Elder], Patrick Joseph, Hugh J., Michael Patrick, and Terrence Francis while the families were living in Ulster County. She collected extensive data on the Coogans and left queries at several different websites. In early 1999 Jim Coogan responded to Pat's message board post about her husband's Coogan family from Kingston, NY. Soon after, it became clear that the families were closely related. Pat and Jim continue to refine the family outline. Carrie Coogan Keating (internet) and Michael Thuesen (internet) are also working on this family.
