Dear NatNZ,

We knew Roach family that lived in Maracas, Trinidad. Stanley, Wesley
(deceased young in the US), Leola, Cheryl were some of their children.
All were musical--Stanley plays the violin, Wesley the cello, there was
another brother whose name I cannot remember, Cheryl is a singer (in
Maryland USA). Their father, now deceased, was a music teacher at
Caribbean Union College back in the 1960s, taught all the orchestral
instruments--taught my brother trombone and guitar, one sister violin,
and the other clarinet.

The family matches your description, short in height. If these seem to
be some of your family, I can try to contact them for you.
