Subject:         Looking for Dugane
 

Thank you for the transcription of the 1900 New York Soundex!
I found my Grandmother Alice Dugane. I am looking for her father James S.Dugane
who was born in New York on 7 August 1840. Perhaps, my
grandmother's aunt (James S. Dugane's sister) was married to an Ira
Jenkins who is identified as my grandmother's uncle in the 1900 census
soundex. I have no information on any Dugane's other than I know my
grandmother was born in 1891(in Iowa) and named Carrie Alyce Dugane. I
also know that she went to live with an aunt and uncle in New York,
because the Dugane family in Iowa was too poor to support her!

Do you have any ideas how I might begin a search for "Dugane"?
Do you think the surname derived from the surname "Dugan", "Dougan" or
"Duggan"? I recall my grandmother saying I had Irish bloodlines :) Thanks
for any help you might offer me. Lois

Subject:         Doohan name
 

Hi Lyman,

I would add my ancestor to your archives.
Hugh Doohan was born June 22, 1893 in Ireland.  He emigrated from Dublin
where he said he was from.  He emigrated circa 1911-1915.  He lived in
Philadelphia PA but is not in the 1910 or 1920 census.  He married
Catherine O' Rouke.  They had one daughter Mary who married Frederick
Heyse.  Hugh Doohan is my husband's grandfather.  He served briefly at the
end of WWI and I have a service record, and SS#.  He was a chauffer in the
Philadelphia area for many years.  As he is not in the census, I have not
been able to determine his year of immigration.  He had a brother in the
Philadelphia area named James who was born 1899.  He had one other brother
in America but his name is unknown.

Thanks for any help

     Hello!  I was looking at your web page and thought I would drop you a line.  It's nice to see you have created such a nice page.
     I grew up in Tampa and moved to NC in 1983 to attend college and start my career.  My dad (Robert D. Duggan) lives in
     Boca Raton and my grandmother (Lois Duggan lives in Titusville).  Unfortunately grandpa (Edward J. Duggan) passed away
     in early 1987; my grandparent's family lived in Mauldin, MA.  My brother also lives here in NC.  He and I both
     graduated from Leto High School there in Tampa before we went away to college.

Subject:         Decendants of Robert Dugan-Fayette County, PA

Hi, My name is Alison Bigbee and I am currently researching my husband's
family tree--I found your web page and was extremely interested in the
descendants of Robert Dugan (he died abt. 1804 in Fayette County,
Pennsylvania).  When I clicked on "Decendants of Robert Dugan" on your web
page, the page did not open. I was trying to find a connection between
Robert and his great-granddaughter, Catherine Dugan Beck.  I possess some
of her letters which describe some of the family history, namely her
father's name, her grandmother's maiden name (McClelland), etc.  My
husband's g,g,g grandmother is Catherine Beck's sister.  Sorry if this is
all confusing, I didn't mean to go into so much detail, but I would be
really interested if you had some information or could direct me to the
appropriate place that would help me make the connection.  Thank you for
your time, Alison Bigbee

Your home page is most informative.  I have found two possible connections on it! I was wondering if you could send me the file on
THE DECENDANTS OF ROBERT (DOOGAN) DUGAN OF FAYETTE COUNTY PA (d. Abt. 1804).
I believe this to be one of my connections.  I would appreciate this file or any
information that you may have Robert Dugan and his Decendants.

Thank you very much,

Hello Lyman:
I have just visited the Duggan website for the very first time. Very
impressive. My niece, Gwendolyn Devereaux Plyler (her mother - Loydale
Duggan Riddle and I ( Geraldine Duggan Gracie, are sisters.) has no doubt
contributed to the website under descendents of Hugh Duggan.  I couldn't
find anything from her and was unable to follow what Carline Doyle had
sent you.  (She is a distant cousin from same line). My father was William
Arno Duggan, his father was Annis Arno Duggan, whose father was Robert
Duggan.  Robert Duggan's father was Hugh Duggan and his wife's name was
Margaret Wilson Duggan. I coujld go back further but I'm sure Gwendolyn
has already submitted that information. I am going to forward your website
address to my children so they may view some of their ancestor's records.
If you are interested in my descendants they are: (My husband was Wallace
Burt Gracie who died in 1997) Jerry Joseph Gracie, born 11/12/51, in
Berkeley, California.  Married Vickie Rae Harcourt in 1975; no blood
issure, but they have one son whom they adopted.  Andrew Joseph Gracie who
was born in March of 1979. My other child is a daughter, Cheryl Denise
Gracie, born 1/21/58, in Montgomery, Alabama.  She married James William
Secomb August 21, 1980. They have four children:  Mark Thomas Secomb, born
May, 1986 Ellen Elizabeth Secomb, born August 1988,  Emily Ann Secomb,
born October, 1991 and Laura Kathleen Secomb, born in May 1994. Greetings
to all my living Duggan relatives! You are doing a great work. Geraldine

My name is Mave Atherton.  My e-mail is mave@homesearch.fsnet.co.uk
Love to hear from anyone who may be able to help me trace a new family.  I
don't know if you are able to put such requests onto the screen.

Very interested to read all the info on Dugan-Duggan Families.  Not long
been on internet so this is new to me.

I am Looking for

Ira Dugan- Duggan- Dougan.  You've guessed. I was adopted in 1945 as a
baby.  My father I am told was Ira and he may have come from Jackson
Alabamah.  I am not sure.  He was stationed near Boxmoor Hertfordshire
England in 1944-45. with the American Airforce.  He took ariel
photographs. Possible family connections with Levin.  If anyone knows of
Ira or a family member who would contact me it would be wonderful to find
if I have any sisters or brothers.  I don't want to invade anyones family
privicy, as it isn't easy for someone out there to accept they have a new
family member after all these years, but it is a perculiar feeling to me I
just have to find someone.

I found my birth Mother who is from Scotland some 20 years ago and we have
a happy relationship.  It would be great to find information leading to my
Father.

One Ira was mentioned as the grandfather of Rick Dugan on pagees 1-16.
Ricks address White House near Nashville TN USA.  If you are out there
Rick please E-mail me.  I just may be related.

Hope to hear from you Lyman, Thanks.

From:            "Catherine Pearcey" <cathy.pearcey@btinternet.com>

I am the great-great-granddaughter of Thomas William Grafton Grattan (one
of Edward G-G's children).  You mention in Section 3.3.4 c  that Thomas
William married Juliet Mudie.  He did.  But before that, at St Bartholomew
the Great, London 1842, he married Eliza Smith.  They had (as far as I can
find):

William Grattan ch 1843 at St Botolph Without Aldersgate, London
Walter Grattan (my great-grandfather) born1852 in Islington, London
Emma Caroline Grattan ch 1856 in Hounslow, London.

There may be others.

I have recently traced another descendant of Walter Grattan and she
assures me, after years of tracing the family tree, that Edward Grafton
Grattan was originally called Edward Alport Grafton.  She doesn't know
where the Grattan name suddenly appeared from - but it does appear on
subsequent documents.

I have only just been in touch and am awaiting further details from her.
Would you be at all interested in anything along this family line?  For
the time being I just wanted to make sure you know of the first marriage
of Thomas William Grafton Grattan mentioned above.

Best wishes, and thanks for being there when I did my Grafton Grattan
internet search!  You've helped me a lot.

Dear Lyman,
 I have been doing some genealogy on the Duggans for my husbands family
for a few years now, and have exhausted ever lead I have had. I have
traced them into Ireland, County Cork, around Dubhagen, around the 1820's
and have a maiden name on Eliza, but i am stalled....any ideas for me? I
show them coming to America together, staying in New York for a while,
having a child there, then moving to Missouri, having a child there, then
moving to Dubuque Iowa area, which is where we are located, and staying
here. There was a large clan of Duggans here around the time they got
here, but I have not been able to establish if they were related, which i
am assuming they were, but have seen no actual evidence to support my
theory. Any insight you could give me would be most helpful, and
appreciated. The original Duggan that cam was Cornelius Duggan, and his
wife Eliza(beth) around 1820's, thank you so much. Judi Duggan 2005

Lyman,

My daughter and I have been doing geneology research (on and off) for over
20 years (and she's only 23).  We have again started the search for our
long lost family members.  We are looking for a Michael Duggan.  We know
that Michael married Ellenor (Ellen) Sullivan McDonald in Savannah in
November 1844.  [We know that Ellenor was married to Christopher McDonald
in Savannah on April 22, 1837 and that she was born in Ireland.
Therefore, she had to have come over on a boat before 1837.  Michael
Duggan was also a witness to Christopher's will (March 1844).]  Their son
William Henry married Caroline Satilla (Carrie) Mizell (Mrs. Ollie
O'Brien) Oct. 25 1887.  They had one son, Eugene Sydney (b. April 6,
1890).  When Eugene was six he entered Bethesda Home for Boys in Savannah.
 His son William Warren was my father.  He was also born in Savannah in
1918.

We are really searching at this point for our roots back to Ireland
because my sister will be visiting there this summer.  We would like to be
able to point her in the right direction there to look for some distant
cousins.

Thanks for any tips you might have.  D.K. Duggan

Hello Lyman.  My name is Dawn L. Meisenheimer Lewis.  My mother, Mary
Beth, is a Dugan by birth.  Her father was Ralph Newton Dugan, born Feb.
13, 1913 and died July 5, 1992.  I believe he was born in Soldier, Kansas,
but I could be wrong.  He loved to play sports, and played several sports
in college at the University of Kansas.  He ended up coaching baseball at
KU for one year in the 40's.  He assisted basketball with Forrest "Phog"
Allen also.  He was in the army during WWII, but had some sort of foot
infection, so he ran the physical education program.  He was in Las Vegas,
and coached a team called the "horned toads."  He married Vera Zirger and
they ended up in Hiawatha, Kansas.  When my mother was born (1952?), they
stayed in Hiawatha, and Grandpa coached and taught driver's education,
physical education, and I believe, social studies.  Before he died, the
town named a day after him...Ralph "Red" Dugan Day.  There is a golf game
including some coaches from the University of Kansas.  A scholarship is
kept in his honor.

My Grandfather had several brothers and sisters.  There names were:  Clyde
Dugan (had polio and couldn't go to war), John Dugan (still living in his
90's in a nursing home in KS--a farmer), Dorothy Marie (Dugan) Wooster
(still living in her 80's at the Presbyterian Manor in Topeka, KS--was an
Army nurse in WWII--and worked for the VA hospital in Topeka for years.
She collected antiques and loved to grow roses.), Dicy Louellen (Dugan)
Reed (Dorothy's twin sister--they were born Sept. 6, 1916.  Dicy taught
and also was an operator.  She enjoyed sewing and I have a quilt she gave
me for college graduation.  Died in 1999), and Kenneth E. Dugan (Born May
10, 1921 in Soldier, KS.  Went to Kansas University and graduated from
Kansas State University with a degree in Physical Ed.  Worked at the
Menniger Foundation in Topeka, KS as a recreational therapist and retired
in 1986 as director of the recreational therapy/drug and alcohol abuse
unit.  He was a pilot in the Army Air Corps in WWII.  He played several
musical instruments, and played in the Arab Shrine Band, and founded the
Menniger Stage Band in 1951.  He loved to do many things including working
with radio control airplanes and had a ham radio.  He just died Dec. 21,
1999).

These 6 were the children of Edwin and Ethel Dugan.  Edwin's father was
John Franklin Dugan (b. 1853 and d. 1943).  He married Nancy Flora
Putniam?  Franklin's father was Sutton Fouler Dugan born 1814 in KY.  died
in 1898.  He married Mary Ann Walker (b. 1816 d.1904).

This is about it on the info I have, except that my mother, Mary Beth
Dugan, married my father, Thomas Ray Meisenheimer in 1969 at the age of
16.  I was born 3/22/70 when my father was 19 and my mother was 17.  They
were divorced a few years later, and my mother re-married.  She has been
married about 5 times.  I don't have much contact with her, and only know
family history from Aunt Dorothy--who is ailing right now.

Thank you for any connection you can give to other Dugans (Duggan or otherwise).

Sincerely,
Dawn L. M. Lewis

Dear Lyman,
     After roughly 30 years of searching for my grandfather's brother's
family descendents, I've finally found a cousin!! (ref:  newsletter
#24/Linda Naranjo; ref: newsletter #40 - Sep 1999/Nancy B Dugan)  It
happened on Jan 21st when I received an e-mail answer to my request from
Linda Naranjo.  Turns out that our fathers were first cousins who never
knew each other due to a falling out between their fathers, Irvine
Tostevin Dugan and Maurice Kerr Dugan.  They  (Irvine & Maurice) were born
in St Paul, MN and were the sons of Robert & Margretta Dugan.
     Linda is sending me photos of her  grandfather's family, and I'm in
the process of TRYING to get photos reproduced of my grandfather's family
which will be extremely difficult as the pictures go back to around 1880
and they're really tightly set in the album.
     I can't thank you enough for your website - the dead end on our two
families has finally opened up and I'm looking forward to a wonderful time
of discovery from the past!!  I'll keep you updated!!  Thanks again!
     Nancy B Dugan

Hello,
I am looking for info regarding my maternal great-grandfather,
Patrick Dugan, and his wife Annie.
I believe they emigrated in the mid 1800's to the Philadelphia area.
They had seven sons, including my grandfather James J.
I have visited a gravesite at St. Bernard's parish in Indiana, PA,
which I was told by my late mother is theirs.
I remember visits by New York relatives, who lived mainly in Brooklyn, to
our haome in Burlington County New Jersey in the '50s -''70s, and clearly
recall that my mother's cousin John owned a concrete company in New
Castle, DE, which still bears his name, although he has been dead for
perhaps 20 years. I am planning to visit Ireland this year, but will only
go when I have a family destination to aim for. If these Dugan facts are
familiar to anyone, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. JD

Hello Lyman,
My name is Chrissie Duggan Thompson.  I have lived in Denver all of my
life and just began investigating my family history.  My parents moved to
Denver from White Plains, NY in 1959.  My father, Thomas Patrick Duggan,
was born in White Plains to Andrew Mark Duggan and Bridget Duggan
(maiden name O'Donoghue).  I would very much like to share information with the
other Duggans about my family history and also hope that they can share
with me. As I said, I have just begun this journey, and could use all the
help I can get!

My e-mail address is: chrissie@idcomm.com.

Subject:         Identity of Jack Duggan, the Wild Colonial Boy
Date sent:       Tue, 15 Feb 2000 11:22:39 +1100

Suspects -

1. My grandfather, Jack Duggan  born in 1878 at Chewton about  2 miles
from Castlemaine. 2. His son, Jack Jr born in 1907 at Castlemaine. 3. His
cousin's son, Jack born in 1916 at Castlemaine.

Evidence -

- My mother recalled her father regularly singing about himself although
he didn't seem to know all the words. - Jack Sr was certainly a colonial
boy, although results of our recent referendum don't rule the other Jacks
out either. - Jack Sr certainly had his wild moments, although my mother
didn't relate any boyhood stouches with the law. Perhaps she wasn't told
either. - Jack Sr was born of poor & honest parents, Tom & Agnes (nee
McCance) whereas the parents of the other Jacks, although not rich, were
not poor either.

Conclusion -

Forget about supposed Irish connections, since Tom Duggan and his father
Richard came from Glamorganshire in Wales. Perhaps the Irish connection
was through the McCances. The Wild Colonial Boy was John Robert Duggan
(1878-1950) a horse stable and later garage proprieter in Castlemaine,
born and buried at Chewton. So let's tak a right guid-willie waught for
auld Jack Duggan.

Excellent newsletter. Major amount of info to sift through.

My name is Padraig Duggan. My branch of the Duggan family come from
Longford. From my research, there seems to have been one recorded family
with the Duggan name in Co. Longford back in 1796, and I suspect all
Duggans in Longford come from this source.  I was interested in a
correspondance from a Scott Erwin regarding a Katie (AKA Kathleen) Duggan
whom he thought came from near Athlone in County Wexford. I am only aware
of an Athlone in County Westmeath which is only 30 miles from Longford. In
the 1901 census a Katie Duggan lived in Kilashee, Co. Longford and was
aged 13 at the time of the census. I'm not sure if this is the same
Kathleen Duggan he is referring to, but if he requires any more info could
he contact me at... dugganp@gofree.indigo.ie   . I tried to contact him at
the given email address, but the message was never rec'd. I suspect he may
have changed his email address.

On another matter, Patrick Duggan and his sister Rosy Hatton emigrated to
Canadaigua, New York. They advertised in the 'Boston Pilot' on the 3rd of
Sept 1853 in an attempt to contact their sisters Betsy & Mary Duggan
(originally from Ballymacormack, Co. Longford in Ireland) who had
emmigrated to the Bay of Cheleur, Lower Canada. If anyone has any
knowledge of any of these individuals, I would be delighted to hear from
you.

Please document your Duggan Genealogy and send it to me for publishing and for the Archive. When you have new data, dates etc let me know and they will be published and archived too. Please let me know the Issue Number so I can go back and make the changes/additions.

Because the Duggan Genealogy Records are Archived and will hopefully be available forever, it is a good idea to include your mailing address with any submission to the newsletter. Think about it, someone may read your posting years from now and have no way to contact you as email address are easily subject to change. I find that 10 pct of your email addresses are changed after just one year.

When you make a submission, please include all of your known family data. Dates of birth, death, marriage, and locations for the same, wedding witnesses and the church, ministers name etc., baptism dates, names of cemetarys. Remarks about each person are welcome too. If it ends up being a very large file then I may put the data on a page of its own and refer to it in the Newsletter and put a link on the Duggan Homepage too.
