This website is an extension of the book, Our Folks by Maron Summer Eve. The book provided an outline format of the known descendants of the first Goggans to come to the USA. I am continuing the work, using internet records for genealogy and DNA tools for the extended family. The original book was an amazing work, considering most of the information was gathered in the 1970's and 1980's in county courthouses in the southern US or by communicating directly with families that were known to be descendants.

It is believed that William Goggans came to colonial America from Ireland or Wales around 1718. I have not discovered any solid documentation of exactly where was born or departed from to come to America.

With the advent of the internet and digitized public records (plus the passage of time), the tree grows enormously. For the books authors, traveling from South Carolina to beyond eastern Mississippi in the '70's and '80's did not seem part of the original scope, even though a great many descendants had moved to TX, OK, UT, CA, and many other places.

Beyond the Gogga/ins descendants in the tree/website, there are also relatives from our extended ancestors - primarily those that are DNA matches of Dwight and Rosie Griffin (and close relatives' kits) from AncestryDNA/23AndMe testing and aggregators MyHeritage and GEDMATCH. If these matches can be connected to the tree, then when their shared match segments are grouped, analyzed, and colored corresponding to a common ancestor ("painted" like with "DNA Painter", we can assign a potential common ancestor to matches where we don't know how they fit in the tree. See the DNA Tools for info and examples.

1 Age-related calculations are based on individuals with recorded birth and death dates. Due to the existence of incomplete date fields(e.g., a death date listed only as "1945" or "BEF 1860"), these calculations cannot be 100% accurate.
