Joe, my branch of the Roche family came from Bordeau, France.  They migrated to the United States in the 1780's, and travelled to New Orleans, then a French colony.  The Irish branch was part of the Roche group that invaded in I believe 1066, but it is quite distant.  The Irish branch is related to the mother of princess Di.

Hello Edward
 
  My parents came to the US in 1959 from Ireland.  My dad, Martin Roche is from Kilkenny.  His parents are Thomas and
Eileen (Buggy) Roche.  Eileen is from Waterford.  My mother is an O'Flaherty from Spidal, Co. Galway.  I believe our family
goes back to the same branch related to Frances Roche too.. Princess Diana's mother  but I'm not 100% sure.
