My grandfather was Francis M. Cahan. I am the third child of his youngest daughter, Lorena. Francis (Frank) was married to Edna Goshwer. He died in Kanakee, Illinois in 1965. How are you related?

I don't think we have the same Francis Cahan. My great grandfather was born in 1856 and died in 1926. Also I only know that he was married to one woman, Viola Fenn. They were married on January 26 1890 in Idaho. And both are buried in Valley Ford, Wa. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply. I do believe we are related. My great great grandparents were Louis A. Cahan and Sarah Jane Strong. They had a son named John Richard and his brother was Francis Marion. John married Harriet Brynes and had a son named Frank Marion(probably after his brother). I live in Southern California and have 3 daughters and 2 grandaughters and l grandson. My grandfather Frank stayed in Illinois he had 13 or so brothers and sisters so there is a large group of Cahans there. I beleive my cousin Lynn O'Brien has mentioned you

I am so sorry. I didn't have all that information. Have you been able to find any information on Louis or Sarah???? All I know is that Louis was born in France and I haven't been able to find any other information. Thank you so much!
