Hello Everyone, Although my Clare records have the name listed as ROHAN, I'm told by Clare Heritage Centre the spelling Rohan, Roughan, Rohen etc are the same. Here's what information I have.................. Michael Rohan b.c. 1812 unknown Ireland - parents, siblings unknown m. 11/27/1832 Parish of Parteen Elizabeth Dolan b.c. 1812 unknown Ireland - possible siblings Richard, Nora, Honor, Anne and Geoffrey children of Michael and Elizabeth: Mary b. 1833 Cratloe Co. Clare. All others b. Derrymore, Co. Clare Martin John b.1835, Patrick b.1840, Bridget b.1841, Elizabeth b.1846, John b.1849 and Annie b.1851. Clare surnames associated with this family (baptism/wedding witnesses) are........ Canty, Bruggy, Campbell, Finnucane, Greene, Healy, Laughlin, McCarty, McInerney, Moloney, Parnell, Purcell, Slattery, Touhy and Wyne. John, my great grandfather, was the first to come to Chicago c.1865. Parents and siblilngs were all in Chicago by 1874. Hope there's someone out there than can connect my ROHAN to theirs!

I had communicated with you back in June of this year because I found your family on the rootsweb Message Board. I was very interested because, in the 1840 census, my Dennis (b. 1799) was living in China/now Arcade, Genesee County. By 1850, Wyoming County was formed from Genesee; China/Arcade was then Wyoming County. Our families could be related, although not siblings. We have brothers, Timothy, Dennis, and John, as well - all lived and died in Wyoming County, New York. After the 1850 census, these three were using Rowan; in 1850, they were Roughan and Rowhen. Thank you again.
