This report has been compiled using various sources, and wouldn't have been possible
without the kind assistance of the following:
Valerie Nicotina, Richard Wehmeyer, John Hills, Betty Corbin, Warren Pine, Don and Clare Radz.
This file is by no means complete. I hope to add to it with contributions from other family members.
There are several Grogan's who I haven't been able to place in a family,
a partial list of them
is at the bottom of this page.
Almost all of this information came from unofficial sources such as
burial record transcriptions, family bible transcriptions,
census transcriptions, and obituaries copied from local papers. There are probably omissions and definately errors in this work.
The names of the Living have (hopefully) been omitted. If you are listed here and are not dead, please contact me.
This should be used as a guide, not a source. I have not personally verified much of this information, so caveat emptor.
If you can add or correct, please contact me .
