April 26, 2006:


Thanks to Sheila Lafleur for the following:

Hi  my name is Sheila Lafleur

I was looking @ the webpage  Bytown or bust...  and was interested in the
EGAN's.

my great grandmother was Margaret Egan  born  March 4 1863 in Renfrew her
parents listed on IGI  are Edward  Egan and S Flannigan

my great grandmother married Duncan McCoshen  (name was written up as
Duncah McCushen )  I have had major surname issues ...
" bans of marriage were graned in the church at Pembroke between Duncan
McCushen of Alice twp. son of age.  son of John McCushen and Mary Foreman on
the one part and Margaret Egan daughter of age .. of Edward Egan and Cecilia
Flannigan of Petewawa on the other part. " (Flanagan, Flanigan)

After seeing all your Egans from Pembroke area  I thought there must be a
connection somewhere.   I have been trying to  see a connection between the
McCoshens of Alice Township and the ones in Vinton Quebec .... perhaps the
connection is not threw the McCoshen side but threw the EGAN side..   Egan /
Shea / McCoshen.

McCoshens - Austrian Roots

John McCoshen with sons Alexander ( Isaac) & Duncan  emigrated to Canada in 1867 
according to 1901 Census.
John born Dec 24, 1834 Austria 
Died  Dec 5, 1922  Star City Saskatchewan

Isaac born July 30, 1860 Austria
Died    1930 Star City Sask.

John wife Mary... and Isaac wife Matilda  left Alice Township, Renfrew County in 
1904 to homestead  in Sask  * note* on 1901 cenus this family is found  surname 
Miskuskin..... on 1911 cenus  surname  McCoshen.

My great grandfather Duncan McCoshen stayed in Alice Twp.  *note * on 1901 and 1911 
census surname was listed  McCaushen
			  * note*  EVERYONE  did get buried under the McCoshen surname 
Time Line...

 The BIG Question..... what was their original surname? How can I find them on a 
 passenger list?  What town/ parish  are they originally from? and mothers info.   
 I am 80% sure Mary  is 2nd wife to John .
