Subj: Re: [PACENTRE] RAUCH : <A HREF="mailto:SSShipMack">SSShipMack</A> Hi, I'm new to the list.  Is anyone researching the surname RAUCH ?  My family came from Pennsylvania in 1849 to Michigan.  In my research I've discovered that the Rauch's lived in seven different counties in Pennsylvania:  Centre, Juniata, Perry, Dauphin, Snyder, Union and Northumberland.  I suspect I'll add to this list.   The story goes that John Rauch (the father) died in 1848 in Junianta County.  His wife and 4 of his 5 adult sons moved to Michigan.  Upon moving to Michigan they changed the spelling of their name to ROUGH.  I'm trying to find information about the Rauch's prior to their moving to Michigan.  I'm also trying to find information about the one son who remained in Pennsylvania, Henry Rauch.>>>>>>>>> Hi Sue In "wills and Admin. on Northumberland Co. 1772 - 1813" Date: 9/22/1792 Deceased: ROUSH, John Letters Granted To: George ROUGH Sureties for the Admin: Tobias BICKE and Nicholas MERTZ INDIANA CO, PA (at this time it was a part of Nothumberland Co. 1818 - 1849) 1/26/1847 ROUSH, Henry.
