I am one of a million Rohrbaughs, and I'm constantly asked if I'm related to any of the others. However, I don't really know much about my Rohrbaugh ancestors. The latest one anyone's come up with is Norman Rohrbaugh. Does anyone know anything about any of his relatives? Help! Thanks.

I am also related to what seems like a million Rohrbaughs as both my parents are from Rohrbaugh families. I have about eight Norman Rohrbaughs in the family trees that I am working on. Can you give me more information about your Norman Rohrbaugh such as middle name, birth date, spouse, etc.

My Norman Rohrbaugh is my great grandfather. My grandfather's name is Charles Franklin Rohrbaugh. Norman was born (so far as I have been able to find) July 4, 1897 and died October 18, 1973. He died before I was born, so I don't know much about him other than his wife's name was Annie Heiner, and that he was from York County in Pennsylvania around the Thomasville area. Charles now lives in Adams County. How's that for information? Please let me know if your Norman and my Norman are the same or related.

It's quite amazing how many Rohrbaughs have remained in York County over the generations. Your grandfather, Charles Franklin is a 5th generation cousin to both my mother and my father. Your Great-grandfather, Norman Franklin married Annie Almena Heiner. The birth and death dates that you mentioned for Norman are exactly what I have in my records. Your Great-great-grandfather was Howard S. Rohrbaugh (b:Aug. 12, 1870 d:Aug. 5, 1941). Howard married Ida M. Brown. Your Great-great-great-grandfather was Adam Swartz Rohrbaugh (b:Nov. 11, 1838 d:May 11, 1875). Adam married Matilda Rohrbaugh... they were 2nd cousins. You can email me at cruisnblue@aol.com and I can provide you with as much information about your ancestors as you would like. Many of your ancestors (and mine) are buried at St. Jacob's (Stone) Church cemetery in Brodbecks, PA in southern York County which just happens to be the area that I grew up in.
