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!

Mr.. Bill Dorgan, Thanks for the experience of visiting your Dorgan Family website. Truly an adventure. So much to see and learn. I must return for another lesson. Credit to you for a tremendous amount of creation and work. I definitely enjoyed the America! segment. I feel I just read a short story experience of an immigrant in 1900. You captured the difficulty and uncertainty of making that long and scary journey. Keep up the good work and thanks for your response to my request about my Thompson ancestors.

Comments: Invaluable information and well presented. I'm researching Quinn - my Ggrandfather Frank Quinn was supposedly from somewhere in Cork Co. No clues as to parents names as he was put on ship for America, age 5, unaccompanied, and told to hide in lifeboat for 3 moons.
