The following appears at _http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/_
(http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/) :
U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative
Health care professionals have known for a long time that common
diseases - heart disease, cancer, and diabetes - and even rare diseases
- like hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia - can run in
families. If one generation of a family has high blood pressure, it is
not unusual for the next generation to have similarly high blood
pressure.
Tracing the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents, and other
blood relatives can help your doctor predict the disorders to which you
may be at
risk and take action to keep you and your family healthy.
To help focus attention on the importance of family health history, U.S.
Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., in cooperation with
other agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) has launched a national public health campaign, called the U.S.
Surgeon General's Family History Initiative, to encourage all American
families to learn more about their family health history.
In addition to the Office of the Surgeon General, other HHS agencies
involved in this project include the National Human Genome Research
Institute
(NHGRI), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the
Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA).
National Family History Day
Surgeon General Carmona has declared Thanksgiving 2004 to be the first
annual National Family History Day.
Thanksgiving is the traditional start of the
holiday season for most Americans.
Whenever families gather, the Surgeon General encourages them to talk
about,
and to write down, the health problems that seem to run in their family.
Learning about their family's health history may help ensure a longer
future together.
My Family Health Portrait
Americans know that family history is important to health. A recent
survey found that 96 percent of Americans believe that knowing their
family history is important. Yet, the same survey found that only
one-third of Americans have ever tried to gather and write down their
family's health history.
Because family health history is such a powerful screening tool, the
Surgeon
General has created a new computerized tool to help make it fun and easy
for
anyone to create a sophisticated portrait of their family's health.
This new tool, called "My Family Health Portrait" can be downloaded for
free
and installed on your own computer.
The tool will help you organize your family tree and help you identify
common diseases that may run in your family.
When you are finished, the tool will create and print out a graphical
representation of your family's generations and the health disorders
that may have moved from one generation to the next. That is a powerful
tool for predicting any illnesses for which you should be checked.

General, please visit _www.surgeongeneral.gov_

I am still looking for details about Michael J. Cogan. He was the son
of Bessie Cogan (nee Ahern), Bessie was related to my Ahern family, she
is a widow in the 1901 Census of Ireland, her and Michael J. were living
with her father James Ahern in Cobh. The family story says that he was
in the Boston police department.
I have not been able to find a Michael Cogan in the 1920/1930 U.S.
Federal Census who seems to match him. I did get some information from
Boston PD which shows a police officer of that name, and a lister on the
MA Census list sent me the following:
>
> Found the same Individual in the 1930 Census (grocery clerk in a
> grocery store) and a 1925 Boston City Directory. (The 1930 census details say that this particular Michael J. Cogan was born in "Northern Ireland", so that would seem to be the wrong person). The below is the right Michael J. I am hoping to find out who his wife was, the child's name, and if there were any other children.
But in the WWI
> Draft Registration Cards June 5, 1917 (from Ancestry.com) there is a
> Michael J Cogan - Police Officer, City of Boston, Division 7 East
> Boston. He is married with a 3 month old child, he was born on
> October 1, 1886 and was residing at 20 or 21 Ingleside Boston MA (ward
> 17 precinct 2). He was a Naturalized Citizen and was born in
> Queenstown, Ireland. He has had 3 years of Military Service as a
> Seaman in Mass. His description was Tall and Stout, Blue Eyes with
> Dark Hair.
Thank you,
Colman Ahern.
And remember to give thanks for the names you found in the last year and the
ones you get this yeah may we all find reap a bountiful havest

Surgeon General Urges Families to Track History
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Despite advances in genetic testing, the U.S. surgeon
general on Monday urged Americans to track down and record cases of cancer,
heart disease and other diseases prevalent in their families.

Officials have also developed a new computer-based program to help patients
better organize their medical histories and present them to their doctors, U.S.
Surgeon General Richard Carmona said.
While many people know their family's health can indicate possible problems
with their own, "relatively few people have tried to collect it in an organized
way," Carmona said, adding that common behavior, environments and cultures
are also factors that influence health.
Such information is cheaper than costly genetic tests and can help patients
seek preventive health screenings or get diagnosed earlier, officials said.
"Knowing your family's history can save your life," Carmona said.
It also helps doctors quickly asses their patients' medical needs without
having to spend extra time asking about their background, said Francis Collins,
head of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes
of Health (news - web sites).
Collins added that patients with adoptive or deceased parents or relatives
will "have to be a bit tenacious" to dig up information, using death records and
seeking help from adoption agencies.
The computer based tool -- available online at
http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/ -- allows users to record health histories for as many relatives as they
have information for and then print out copies for their doctor.
A print version of the tool is being made available for health care providers
to give patients, officials said.
