Research Notes

  • Noticed on son Burkett, his Louisiana SS death record stated he was born 10-15-1895, but his cemetery marker has 11-24-1895. It had his last known address was Oak Grove, West Carroll, Louisiana. On his marker it said he was a Grandfather. That makes me wonder if on the 1930 Census, the 2 Grandchildren Helen Roberts age 4, and Milburn Roberts age 3 with Pete and Bama were children of Burkett. This has been the most difficult family to chase down because of the incorrect dob's on census. The 1910 Census is so messed up it has Missie age 6 and Jennie or Junie age 2, and no Ona B who is age 12 in 1920, and age 20 in 1930. So i believe Missie is Ona B as junie is on the 1920 Census. Unable to find junie or ona B after 1930, but on the obit of Bama Roberts, one of her survivors is Onie Bell Waltz of Jackson, Mississippi but still unable to find her on the 1940 Census. Other survivors are Burkett, Eddie, Zona Grubbs, Ula Ponder, and Annie Mae Ponder. (Spelled the way it is on obit.
  • If anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it. Peter R. Robert is my GG Uncle.
