Here ya go buddy. This is my great-grandma, Mary Elizabeth Rogan. She was born April 29, 1870. Her father was born in Ireland. She was born in Pittsburgh. What do you think? See any resemblance? Just think...maybe we are really related! LOL Love-JILL

Yes..... She looks as though she has a bit of a 'want' about her as well.

Yeah, she kinda looks like my sisters. Any idea what part of Ireland her father was from? My grandparents, great Uncles, etc. were all from Ballyshanon in Donegal. The family business was still in operation until last year (Rogan of Donegal. Fly Tyers Since 1834) You don't happen to be able to tie flies, do you, Jill?
Your Long Lost Cousin,
Mark PS: What is Mary hiding behind her back in that photo?

Mark, I have no idea where her father was from but I think Jim Baggas is a relation too! He sent me a message asking her parents' names and his info is pretty much dovetailing with my info. Fiddles just said Donegal cuz I told her that's where your Rogans were from. Hope you liked the picture. I have one where she was older, but I liked this one best. Love- JILL
