Great great Grand Daughter of Joseph Phillippe Lemercier LaRoche & My father & I are the only two from the family who looks carbin copy to him. Through my research linking us to him. You can google me Marlie Alberts I’m as well on facebook, I have actual orignal photo’s of the LaRoche family. Thanks for Blogging about it..
Actually I’m overwhelmed by it and yet I admit and wondered if any black origin family or person were on the Titanic. It news to me! Now my wonder is settled. Not even sure how this came [popped up on my screen]to me as I browsed about the Titanic history. I always had emotion and sense of connection to this somehow. Perhaps it because my Mother was from England. I will never know beyond that. But I do thank you for this information. I’m glad you told anyone that cared to know. Take care best wishes.
