I am not related to Laroche family, but a reseacher/recorder of pioneer families to Iroquois and Kankakee Counties, Illinois. LaVerne "Frog" LaRoche, born 20 February 1904 in St. Anne, Illinois, died 21 September 1981, Bourbonnais, Illinois. He was the son of Theodore LaRoche and Aurelie Rose Girard. Theodore LaRoche born about 1869 and died about 17 June 1930. Aurelie Rose Girard LaRoche born about 1868 and died about 29 January 1944. I believe Theodore was the son of Pierre M. Laroche who was born 1810 in Henryville, Province Quebec, Canada and Anastasie Bourgis born about 10 November 1817 in Canada.They married 9 April 1839 in St-Georges-de-Henryville, Province Quebec, Canada. Pierre died 10 November 1900 in St. Anne, Illinois and Anastasie Bourgis died about 11 September 1902 in St. Anne. Pierre Laroche was the son of Gabriel Laroche and Genevieve Godoin. I will do a bit more checking on this and be in touch.
