Rotherams were living in Crossdrum, Ireland, by the early 18th century. Patrick Rotheram of Bath, UK, sent me his family tree, which goes back to that era. It's attached to this post. He's the 'Patrick Auston R' who appears near the bottom of the tree, towards the left. If you go to the guestbook and look up the entry for 11/11/2001, you'll see that he was appealing for information about Rotherams with an Irish connection. Can you help?

Many thanks, Patrick. Sorry it took me so long to get round to publishing your family tree. Let's hope that it leads to some new information.
