Last Update May 25, 2011
New Information is research obtained from the Goheen families who went South to Kentucky. This research was done in the summer of 2010 in Benton, Kentucky.
Included is the Goheen descandants of Thomas W Goheen who imigrated from Ireland about 1847 into Canada and within two years was living in Wisconsin. This family has been added because the descendant has identical DNA as the Goheen family descending from Pennsylvania. This information can be found by clicking on Origins or go to Genealogy and click on Charts and then on DNA charts.
This site provides genealogical information concerning the Goheen family who emmigrated about 1719 to America.
