Monumental A.M.E. Church, Steelton

From Trina Roach-Raschke, August 27, 2006 In reply to James C. Hoffman's letter of 13 July 2006

James,

Although my grandfather s name was also Beauregard Roach, I believe you are referring to our cousin, Beauregard, who still lives in the Harrisburg area.

The Roach family, as a branch of the Brown-Taylor clan from the Sumter, South Carolina area, just celebrated another bi-annual family reunion in Columbia, South Carolina this past July. Beauregard was there, as were many other members of the family from the Harrisburg/Steelton area.

Kind regards,

Trina Roach-Raschke
