Hi List, I found a John Donegan in DC in SSDI and I was intrigued. I have a ggrandfather named John Dominic DONEGAN, b. in 1858 in DC to Michael DONEGAN and Ellen SHEA. I know he had no SS# issued as he died before the program was even established. I decided to order the John DONEGAN and here is what I received: Name you gave your present employer: John F. W.
