The question arises as to where are all of Joseph Roberts' descendants.  There are thousands of them and they have migrated all over the United States and to other countries as well.  This tab is intended to highlight some of these descendants and show the diversity of their residences.  It will also give a short description of how that particular family migrated to that location.  I hope you will submit your own photo with the information required so that I can add it to the website.  It is all part of Roberts Switch heritage.
