"Leaves on Our Tree"

 

Now that “Where Our Roots Rest, Volumes I & II” are printed and selling (make sure you contact me to get your copy) I am ready to release some information about my third book:  "Leaves on Our Tree."

“Leaves on Our Tree” is a book of stories about our ancestors.  It is a selection of interesting stories about our family members from their own words, histories, interviews, and research.  I have chosen some interesting stories, common stories, and fun stories.  These stories are rich with history and documentation about the lives of our Roberts family members.  These stories will introduce you to our ancestors and their lives.  These stories will put together a family picture of the Roberts family in Wyoming and their contributions to shaping the coalmining towns they lived in.
