The Roberts Family (from 1800s)

Although incomplete, the names, places and existence of my ancestors is something I need to write down. It shows me the path along which I travelled, arriving from the ancient route of the Roberts family. My Father's family. The family I do not know.

I find solace in researching and recording those before me. It soothes my anguish, an anguish that resides in my soul. Where did I come from? There has been nobody able to answer this question ... and it has remained unanswered for 36 years.

Through my research I can find answers to my life-long questions. Who were my ancestors? Where did they come from? How did they live? Small fragments of their lives flash up on my computer screen ... a solitary, hand-written page of the 1851 England and Wales Census details the names of people, street of residence, number of children, their employment and places of birth.

Sometimes it is overwhelming, sometimes it is not enough.
