I too have hit the proverbial BRICK WALL in researching my Roberts ancestors. My ggrandfather William Henry ROBERTS was born abt 1840 in either the Bahamas or Key West, FL. Don't know his parents names. He was married in Key West, FL to Elisabeth (don't have last name). They had several children, I have the names of three of them Armenia (Minnie) b. 1860, Claude b. 1862 and Michael b. 1866. I found this information in the 1870 census records for Monroe County. His second wife was my ggrandmother and they show up in the 1880 census for Franklin County, FL. My grandfather, A.W. ROBERTS, was 3 years old at that time. At some point they moved to Hillsborough County, Tampa, FL. and died there about 1920. If anyone has a connection to this ROBERTS line, I would love to hear from you. Janie
