Irish Families Living in the City of South Bend, Ward Four, St Joseph County, Indiana in 1870 with Surnames O-R

There were Five Irish families whose surnames began with O-R. At this point, I have only created a webpage on the Roach Family. I have done more extensive research on this family than most as they were my second great grandparents good friends.

Observations: There is a Michael O'Brien Family from Massachusetts and Michigan that may have Irish origins. They are not included in this page because I have no evidence of an Irish connection. There is a Peter Raney who is listed as being born in Canada, and a Thomas Regan who was born in Indiana who may have Irish roots.

Please contact me if you feel you are a descendent of these or other South Bend Irish Families so that we can share information and possibly trace our lines back further!
