Life
Frank Horan appears only in our family tree, which names Bridget Cooney Horan as a spouse; Mary "Virginia" Hanley, Mary "Virginia" Horan, and Vincent Horan as children. This archive supplies no dates, places, occupation, or independent record, so nothing further is currently known.
How we know this: Very weak: the person is represented only by an unsourced family-tree entry. [1][2]

- Occupation and residences
- Independent confirmation of the listed identity and relationships
- [A CHILD REMOVED] **Vincent Horan has been detached from this couple.** He was attached as *compiled* — unchecked — and his christening, the 1920 census and the Social Security index all make him the son of John Horan and Ann Hogan of Hudson County, one of ten children. See his page. **The couple's two remaining children are flagged compiled as well and have not been tested**; whoever built this family did so without records, and one of the three has already proved wrong.
- [CONFLICT] Determine whether Frank was a nickname for Francis; the obituary alone does not prove the interpretation.
