You should first look at the US 1881 census records and search for Roches in Pennsylvania or Pittsburg. Then post a message on the message board there about them. Pittsburg is a city in Pennsylvania and it's in Allegheny County. Pennsylvania is the state. Here's the link to the Pennsylvania county message boards: http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties/mb.ashx If it's a case where you find several of them born the same year as yours you may have to research further in the US, for example try to find their US naturalisation records to confirm the ones you find are actually your family. The US naturalisation records for example included place of birth in Ireland. Eilis O'Hara Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
