| Message (#415): | Hello Everyone,
The Roche DNA project group has been in operation for many years and we have had considerable success in revealing the ancestral histories of the group members. We have identified one major ancestral lineage and two minor lineages.
The major ancestral lineage comprises 25% of Roche families. The ancestor for this main lineage originated in ancient Egypt and moved into Europe during the time period 200 – 400 AD (Roman / Christian era of Egypt). Then around 1100 – 1200 AD the ancestor acquired the Roche surname and descendants moved into Ireland.
The details of these latest developments can be found on the following website:
http://rochelineages.wordpress.com/
The site has additional background information on the DNA project and the connections that have been revealed between many family groups. If you are interested in joining the group, specific information can be found on website.
Best regards,
Peter Roche |

| Message (#412): | I cannot find hints on ancestry.com (yet) for my grandmother (mother's side) who's maiden name was Roche. Marcia was born in June in 1933, married into Fraliegh (Don, who died young) and now lives in California (where she raised my mother and uncle), but she grew up in OH where she lived with other family members (aunt & uncle?) as her mother was mostly unavailable and they were estranged from her father. I will be filling in gaps hopefully next time I visit her - and might have more dates, names and locations to add, but if anyone has info, please contact me. thanks! |

| Message (#411): | Hi everyone! I'm looking for some information on a William Roche, who had a grocery (and possibly a drug store) in Cincinnati OH in the 1840's and early 1850's. He had a partner named William Drummond, and he's actually the one I need info on, but thought if there was some history on the store, I might be able to connect it. I know this is a long shot, which proves how desperate I am :) Thanks everyone! |

| Message (#409): | Hello! Trying to trace family roots and hitting a number of dead ends. My Grandfather was Paul Francis Roche and was born April 24, 1916 in New Haven, Connecticut. His parents were James W. and Catherine H. Roche in the 1930 U.S. census and listed as being from "Irish Free State" (handwriting is difficult to read). He was always reminding us of our Irish heritage and hung the family crest in the front room proudly(the crest that led me to your site). Would love to see if we have any family ties, thank you for your help! |

| Message (#402): | Hi
This is Mari Roche, parents live at Canons Cross in Inniscarra and brother is in Ballincollig. So research shows that all the cork roches originate from the one person (David) and I just found out that I am part of that same linage a guy here at work with Me. He has shared the research on the Cork Roches with me, if you think this could help. It goes back to the original Norman invaders so pretty interesting stuff, Cork Roches came from CastleTown Roche and many still live in Mitchelstown (where my dads family all live)
Lets get in touch and share research!
Oh I live in San Diego now with my american hubby :) |

I am glad that somebody has take the time and effort to make a Roche family tree. I would like to add my family line as well.I will provide more information as soon as I can.
I was named Patrick after my grandfather Patrick Roche who was born in Wexford around 1910 (I will be more specific when I found all the data). He moved to England and got married giving place to my uncles Kevin Roche and Paul Roche and my mother Theresa Roche. |
