Dear Pat, I have never heard of any family members by the name of Roach and no, the name is "Beard" and there was a long line of them. My father had two living brother's and a sister himself. My grandfather Beard was one of 10 children, all the children of William Harrison Beard. Thank You for asking. Chris, I go by Chris most of the time. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
