Yerkey-Roush Family History

The stories of the Roush and Yerkey families can be traced to the colonial period of our country.

This is an ongoing project to help our families understand our histories and the people who are our ancestors. Please feel free to contribute family stories, articles or pictures to enhance what we know .

The Roush Family

We are going to start our story with George Clyde Roush and follow the family back to John Adam Roush who left Germany because of religious persecution, wars, and hope for a better life in the New World.
