Roche Lineages welcomes all people who are interested in extending their family history beyond the traditional genealogical paper trail. Since surnames came into existence, diverse spellings have evolved (Roche, Roach, Roache, Roch, etc). For the most part, and contrary to popular opinion, these spelling variations are of little significance.
This project will enable people to explore their deep ancestry and better understand the path that their ancestors have traveled. It will also reveal connections between various branches of the Roche family tree. The use of DNA genealogy has identified several ancestral lineages dating from 1200 AD.
This site is a continuation of the Roache surname group which is based at Family Tree DNA. This DNA project is open to all spelling variations, Roche, Roach, Roache, Roch, etc. Likewise, if you have a DNA test from another company, please make contact; we can add your family line to our group. Roche Lineages provides additional information for group members and any other people who have a connection with the surname and its variations.
