Cyriac Roach born 1784 in Ireland is my 3rd great grandfather on my fathers side.

He was 2 years old when he immigrated to Nova Scotia, where Joseph Aucoin of France and his wife Marie Hebert adopted Cyriac.

Stories told are that Cyriac's parents were very poor and were friends with the Aucoins.

Cyriac married Rosslie Harnois in 1803 in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia and had 9 children.

Cyriac died January 30, 1849

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
