Narrative

In April 2014, autosomal DNA from a descendant of Nancy Colgan matched that from a descendant of Francis Colgan closely enough to conclude that Nancy and Francis were closely related. I have made them brother and sister because 1) both named their oldest son Edward, and 2) the sponsors at the baptisms of Nancy's three known children included a Francis Colgan, Edward Colgan, and Mary Colgan.
The other relationships in the Colgan family come from online sources. I have not verified all the information.

Their marriage is not recorded on the Kilbroney Church Records transcription that I have, but three children's births are. Were they married in Kilkeel? Those records don't start until 1838 and are said to be unreadable until 1845.
