Seeking my grandfather's ancestors. Grandfather: James Joseph Roche b.1875 to Margaret Joy and James Roche. Had brothers John Roche b.1872, Patrick and Thomas and a sister Margaret born 1869. James Roche b.1836-1841 with parents Maurice and Nora O'Connor or John Roche and Catherine Meehan. Margaret Joy decsended from John Joy and Ellen Horan. There is also a Patrick Horan {Houran} and Hanna Sullivan in the mix as well. Knocknagoshel, Castleisland and Listowel are potential family locations. Any help appreciated!

Oh my goodness, this message is for G Roche and there is no doubt in my mind that with the information you provided, you are definitely related to me!!! I am so happy to see you just posted your information a few weeks ago too! My name is Garrett Roche and as you are probably aware, we have loads of Garretts in the family! My great-grandfather is the John Roche you speak of born in 1872!!!!!! I see you put your name as "G Roche" on this site, you wouldn't happen to be another Garrett, would you?! I have a plethora of unbelievable information about our family, so may we converse via e-mail? My e-mail address is rochemg@yahoo.com and I can't wait to hear back from you!!! It is going to be so grand exchanging and sharing the information we know of this incredible, beautiful family of ours.....some of the best people on the face of the Earth!
