Dee: What a surprise to get a response to a message I posted a year ago!! I'm afraid I don't have much information to help you. However, I would be glad to contact another Roth relative on your behalf, to inquire if they have anything on Webster Tyler Roth. The Chester Field Wright Roth and Maude Chestine Burdue you listed in your 01/11/01 posting were my wife's grandparents She THINKS that Chester's father was named Webster. The part about the Old Soldier's Home is correct according to her memory. Please contact me if you wish me to proceed as above. Best of luck in your search. I am currently researching my Schroeder/Theener lines. It is a slow, but very rewarding process. Sincerely, Bob Schroeder
