Biography
William Joseph Dorgan is an enigmatic character. He is also my grandfather.His baptismal certificate (not the parish register) says his name was William John Dorgan. However, this may have been an error made by the person who entered the name into the church register at the time of his baptism, or this may have been an error made by the person who copied his name from the register onto a certificate to be sent to me.In any case, my grandfather is William Joseph Dorgan, Sr. My father is William Joseph Dorgan, Jr. and I am William Joseph Dorgan III.The Passenger Record of William Joseph Dorgan:First Name: William

William Joseph Dorgan\\'s Death Certificate says he was born on April 15, 1905.
His Social Security Account number application says he was born on April 15, 1900.
The Social Security Death Index says he was born on April 11, 1897.He was older than Helen Louise McIntosh, his second wife, who was also born in 1905. His sister, Mary Catherine, was born on March 19, 1905, and she is the last born of Patrick Dorgan and Mary Hartnett. It seems that the SSDI is right. He was born on April 11, 1897. This date was also confirmed by William\\'s Irish baptismal certificate.His Rhode Island state file is #159 and his Warwick, Rhode Island file is #83-160.William applied for a Social Security Account Number on January 29, 1940.
