Introduction

This contains an index of the book "Roberts families" by J. Montgomery Seaver, PA, 1929 along with many other Robertses submitted by Internauts and Rooters. I will include the birth, marriage, and death dates of individuals. Dates will be given if available. The reference (could be my book, could be someone else's info) page number or section/family number appears at the end of each entry. A family number in the Seaver book looks like: A110 or A110-1, which means the son of A110. Multiple dates in the marriage field indicate multiple marriages. Mutiple dates in the "Lived" field indicate documented dates of living. Most of the entries where died ("d.") says "after nnnn" or is blank means the person probably had not died at the writing of this book in 1929. If the place column is filled in, that is an unconfirmed place where they were born or lived. I assumed it is the same place as the parents were born.

Entry format

The format of each entry is:
Lastname, Firstname, prefix (b. birth date, birth place, m. marriage date, marriage place, spouse name, d. death date, death place) reference (like your email address).

Explanation of fields:

"in Rev war" - this name came from a list of Revolutionary war participants. No other data is associated with these names except the state they came from. Please don't ask me for more info on people in the Rev. war, I don't have it.

"Details" - means I have some details about the persons professional or personal life.

Submitting your names

If you would like to submit names to this database:

  1. Make sure the names are not yet in the database. If your name is in the database but is missing info which you have, send it on in!
  2. Submit them in the above format with each line preceded by "<LI>" which is an HTML tag for a "list item". Don't type in the quotes.
  3. Example:
    <li>Roberts, James (b. Oct 11, 1919, Somewhere, MD, m. Nov 11, 1930,
    Cactus, AZ, Nancy Smith, d. Nov 1, 1980, Smalltown, CT)
    < a href="mailto:your_email_address" > your_email_address < /a >
    

I typed this all in by hand over many tedious hours. I hope someone finds this helpful.
