Connect the Huffington family, as well as Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett to AJ?

Question

Hey there WikiTreers!

I have been working on this connection for AJ for about a week now and it has taken me all over the South and up into Michigan and back to Texas and Georgia again. I have a lot of lines and leads in already, but have yet to connect this to the main WikiTree family tree, so I need your help! Michael Huffington, co-founder of the Huffington Post, is distantly connected to Lyle Lovett and thus Julia Roberts, as well, so this is an awesome connection once we make it. I tried to follow some leads that led into Colonial America, always a good spot, but it got into murky waters with few concrete sources, so I left it to look for a different connection. Linked is Michael's father, Roy Huffington, and here are some open profiles for Lyle and Julia's families: 

Lyle's father, William Pearce Lovett

Julia's dad, Walter Grady Roberts

Thanks everyone! No deadline on this one :)

Is AJ a Roberts

Zara, AJ isn't a Roberts. There are eight marriages between AJ and Walter Grady Roberts. See this page for the connection between them.

We use the connection to AJ by blood, marriage, or adoption to indicate that a person is connected to the six million ancestor profiles on WikiTree that are linked to each other. There are over nine million profiles in total, so we love to see everyone linked to the global tree in some way.

I don't see ancestor profiles here for the Aaron and John H. Roberts you mentioned. I hope you'll add them to WikiTree. You might like to start a new G2G question about them to collaborate with the many generous and knowledgeable genealogists here on WikiTree!

Zara, I've moved your question here so it can get better attention on its own page:

Help finding parents of Aaron Roberts born 1772 South Carolina?

 

Answer 1

Thank you Abby and WikiTree-ers. Once we get the connections I'll invite all three of them!

Answer 2

I made connections into the main tree for everyone, but there are some errors in some of the connections beyond where my own research carried me. If anyone wants to help me sort out the bad connectors, please do! I made a lot of progress last night, and am waiting for tomorrow to see if we're still connected, or if we start looking again.
