Roche New Zealand

Profile manager: John Wadsworth [send private message]

The goal of this project is to establish the authenticity of the involvement of my Great Grandfather in the Battle of Gettysburg.

Right now this project just has one member, me. I am John Wadsworth.

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

• The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1–3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. It is believed that Maurice Roche (my Great Grandfather) fought in this battle and afterwards was with the New Orleans Mounted Police for about 7 years before returning to Ireland.
• Any supportive information which verifies this will be greatly appreciated.
• After marrying Minnie O’Brien in Ireland, Maurice and Minnie migrated to New Zealand and they had 9 children.

Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!
