Phil Roberts is part of a Bahamian family.
Because of my Y-DNA matches with them, I know that the following descendants share the same paternal Roberts ancestor, likely from Harbour Island, as myself:
Phil Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-7810
Dale Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-7810
William Norwood Roberts Jr.: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-7810
William Myrnice Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-7456
Charles Adin Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-52294
Leonard Benjamin Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-37717
Millard Joseph Roberts Jr.: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-7535
Thomas Neil Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-7535
Henry Philip Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-39782
Jeffery McKay Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-39782
James Steven Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-18494
Jeffery Eugene Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-16229
Note: The two earliest patriarchs from the above trees are Richard Roberts born about 1710 and John Roberts born about 1710, possibly brothers. They are listed on the partial Bahamas census, dated c1740, along with another John Roberts and a single (widow ?) woman, Ruth Roberts. They might have been in New Providence prior to being in Harbour Island.
The Roberts of St. Keverne, Cornwall, England
- by Phil Roberts
William John Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-3034, born c1757 at St. Keverne, Cornwall, died 1820 at Windsor, New South Wales, Australia. He was the great grandson of Hugh Roberts, born c1630, died 1695 at Cornwall, and Ann Carnbelack of St. Keverne. He was a convict, transported to Australia in 1787. He is an ancestor of a former prime minister of Australia.
I have a 11 of 12 markers Y-DNA match with a Roberts from Australia who tested at the 12-marker level only. His paternal Roberts ancestor was a convict from England. He could have been the above-mentioned William John Roberts, making Hugh Roberts an early paternal ancestor of mine. However, there were other Roberts convicts in Australia.
My half-siblings, a first cousin and myself have fairly close autosomal DNA matches on the same segment of chromosome 10 with an eighth great grandson of Hugh Roberts.
The Roberts of Georgia, USA - by Phil Roberts
I have a 33 of 37 markers Y-DNA match with a gentleman who tested at the 37 marker level. He is probably African American and possibly a 2nd great grandson of Bristo Roberts: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roberts-52414. I suspect that Bristo is descended from a white Roberts paternal ancestor who was a slave owner. This might mean that my paternal Roberts line, or a branch of it, was in Georgia at some point.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To find other potential relatives, continue adding sourced profiles for other lines until you can connect on all branches. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
Have fun!

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.
Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

You are now a full member of the WikiTree community. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Start with the New Member How-To pages they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around.
Can I suggest you specify a location for your Roberts family. Very common surname here in Wales. My mother was a Roberts.
When you are ready take a look at projects, there may be a One Name Study for your surnames, or one covering your research location(s).
Take your time, and let me know if you need any help using the site.
