Until we can identify all of them >and their roots, we may be missing the clue that leads us to the tie to >the Rubliers of Long Island or the immigrant ancestor. From a similiar >list in Canada, I have identified most of the Robblees and some of the >Roblees. I also track the Rublees here in Western Canada from a similiar >list and I will try to fit them in as well. My father knew a Merritt >Rublee in Wainwright, AB where I was born and they did discuss the >connection then. I hope Dad will make contact again this summer. > Again, hopefully, the bible mentioned to be in the possession of >Helen Roblee Willson of Granville can be found. References to it are >notes from 50 years ago and apparently, it had the family of one of the >Ruben Rob[b]lees. > Another thing I find as a significant common thread is the number >of people named Thomas in the first 100 years of the records of our >family. Not only is it a common thread, but the confusion it continues >to cause will soon sort itself out. ...
