Meaning/Pronunciation: Pronunciation: Rob-ertz Meaning: Son of Robert.
Origin: Roberts is a Welsh patronymic name used for the children of men named Robert. One of the more common Welsh surnames of this type.
Variations: None that I'm immediately aware of, and definitely not in this family.
Relation to me: This is my mother's mother's mother's mother's maiden name.
Ancestors:
i: Roberts, Selina, 1845 – 1933, Dyffryn, Monmothshire, Wales; Gabriel Howells, 4 daughters, 2 sons
ii: Roberts, Hugh, ? - ?, Wales?; Ellen Pugh, 1 known daughter
Looking for:
In looking up Selina last week, I discovered that her mother, whose maiden name I had always listed as Griffiths on my family tree, is listed on her death record as Ellen Pugh. So I'm going with that until I find other information. Of Ellen and Hugh, I know absolutely nothing but their names, nor do I have any clue about how many children they might have had.
As this is my matrilineal line, it holds a great deal of interest for me, and I'd love to get further back with these three.
