Roeders in Roberts


This is Daniel Flora standing in Lyman Township Cemetery in Roberts.  He has probably made the most photo contributions to the Roberts Illinois History Group Facebook page.  These photos and stories are part of his genealogical work in Roberts and Lyman Township.  His family lines are Roeder, Zahn, Tarvin, Newman, Trusheim, and more.  If you are researching these lines, Daniel would love to hear from you.  You can write a comment in the guest book on this page or contact Daniel on Facebook.
Here are some of the great photos and comments Daniel has posted to the Facebook page.
