Amazed and so thankful for this intriguing information. My grandmother on my mother's side is surnamed Dorgans. As far as she knows, the Dorgans were from the Basque region of France, approximately early 20th century, prior to WW2. After that, they emigrated to Uruguay in South America. Prior to living in France, could my relatives have lived in Ireland, of the same Dorgan family you describe? Was Patrick Dorgan a great, great, great, grandfather of mine? Could the Great Famine have caused a Dorgan to flee to Northern France in search of relief and betterment? Thank you again, would be wonderful to hear from you.

Hi Chris!
Thanks for the comments. Genealogy is an elusive and fun experience. I've been doing this for over 20 years. I know of your family in France. There are many citations for the Dorgan or Dorgans families. I ran across them a while back while searching my Irish Dorgans from East County Cork. Dorgans is a French last name. Dorgan can be Irish (O'Deargain) or French.
Let me point you in the direction of your Dorgans:

Good luck!
I see you are in Miami. I lived in Fort Lauderdale twice and am now in Clearwater. BTW, great music on YouTube.Bill Dorgan
