I believe we may be related. My maternal grandmother, Josephine Annis Funk was one of several duaghters of Lena (Caroline) Cojean and Wilbert Annis. There is a small cupboard (in my mother's livingroom-Carol Funk Oldfin) that was built by Uncle Joe Cojean for his sister Lena. Their father was Oliver Cojean from France originally, but resided in Langley, Bremerton and Marysville Washington.

I also am researching the Thomas Roberts/ Clara Cojean(cogean) family. Thomas is my great grandfather George William Roberts brother. I have the Obit for Mrs. Clara Roberts who passed away 24 Dec 1947 at age 56. I also have the obit of Thomas W Roberts b 9 jul 1912 and died Mar 1981 married to Anne. I know this Clara and Thomas are connected because the obits refer to the same surriviers.Does anyone have other documetation to help the research. I would be glad to make copies of the obits I have and pass them on.

Surnames: oldfin, savage, o'connor,
i am interested not in cojean but your connection to the OLDFIN surname. It was a mis-spell in the early 1800's from my husband's great great great grandfather. As far as I know all OLDFIN's in Canada and US are somehow related. would like to know more about your connection.
