Roberts Roots & Branches

Searching the census records for the Isaac Roberts(10) and Janet Howie(16) family can be difficult on Ancestry.com because of transcription errors.  After much searching, here is how to find the family: Enter the following information, and when entering the name, type it EXACTLY as it appears below. Census year: 1901      Isaac Roberts , born 1864, Hanley, Staffordshire, England, and  living in Trimdon Grange, Durham, England. 1910      Roberts Issack , born 1863, England, and living in Rock Springs, Sweetwater, Wyoming. 1920      Isaac Roberts , born 1864, England, and living in Rock Springs, Sweetwater, Wyoming.  1930     Isaac Roberta , born 1864, England, and living in Springs, Sweetwater, Wyoming.  Yes, the 1910 census has Isaac's surname listed as his given name and his mis-spelled given name-as his surname.  Good luck and happy hunting.

Today I cataloged document number:     What does 1,000 documents look like besides allot of work?    7 large binders   and 66 pages of index

I have began another blog, and this one is about the 1923 Frontier No. 1 Mine disaster.  This explosion killed Isaac Roberts(65), son of John Richard Roberts(8) and Selina Parker(162).  It is the mine that John Richard Roberts(65) helped Mr. Quely open in the late 1890's in Frontier, Wyoming.  The accident killed 99 men, and 37 men were rescued.  Visit the blog as this address:  http://fronterminedisaster.blogspot.com/
