Hello to the list. It has been some time since I have posted this same request and was unable to get a response so will try again. Thanks to all that did try to locate my GGrandfathers grave site. I am trying to locate the grave site of Griffith Roberts, born about 1825 in Bala, Wales and with his wife Mary and 6 children came to Columbus, Wisconsin in about 1855-56. He is supposedly buried in Prairie-Du-Chien however, cannot find any record of this or where he is buried. He would have been about age 39-40 (about 1864) at the time of his death. The census records of Columbus, Wisconsin in 1870 did not have him listed, so I can only assume that he had died before this time. Any help or knowledge about how to find any information on-line would be greatly appreciated. Traveling to Wisconsin is not possible. Thanks to all who can help. Ron

Hi, Have you went to the Columbia County web site and looked around, and perhaps asked for help there or for a lookup. My husband's folks had Robertses around the Caledonia area and their next door neighbor was a large Roberts family also, but I don't know the names, and they were not related. Our Robertses are buried in the Welsh Cemetery at Portage, WI, however, I think it was in the country near the Welsh Methodist Church. I was there once. My site is: http://members.surfbest.net/krob/roberts.html and there is a peice about the church if you think you might have a connection there. Karolyn Hello to the list.
