Biography

Born 1955 in Pennsylvania. Baptized at The Church of the Redeemer, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. His God-parents were Mr. and Mrs. Michael Mitchell (Hope Dechert) of Villanova.

With his father's permission, he legally changed his surname to include a hyphen and added Andrew as his new middle name, thereby legally becoming Stephen Andrew Robeson-Miller, a name referencing his descent from Andrew Robeson of Philadelphia (1653-1720) as well as of that Andrew's uncle, Andrew Robeson "Sr." (1640-1694), of Philadelphia, New Jersey, Clonmel (County Tipperary) Ireland, and Kelso (Borders) Scotland, who was a Quaker before he went to Ireland and had written a Quaker text printed in London in 1662. In Clonmel, Ireland, this "Uncle Andrew" had a Merchant Token (circa 1670), which showed three stags on one side that he used as the basis for the seal on his will in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1694, an example of which now belongs to Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (built 1699-1700), a gift of Stephen Andrew Robeson-Miller, where it may be seen displayed in the Rectory.

Thanks for having a Big Heart and taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. You will want to read this After Adopting Orphans as it explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. You may also want to go through the new member help on How to manage your Watchlist.

Hello,

I see at Sidenia-3 that you have written a comment on the profile about errors that were accidentally made: "Catarina was not the sister of Ellika or Brita shown here; these two names were added by mistake and need to be removed." So will you edit Ellike and Brita and change that, please?

Hello,

I just reverted changes you had done about name for Unge-4. Note that Swedes don't have middle names at that time. Put all given names in the "proper first name" field and leave the "middle name" field blank (just as it was before your change). If you don't know the call name put that in preferred name, otherwise let that be a copy of the "proper first name" field, just as it was. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Given_names_in_Sweden I've fixed it for that profile, but wanted to alert you to this as well, so you don't make the same mistake on other Swedish profiles.

Hello S,,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are usually shared by many descendants, collaborating with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Review the project pages to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Dear Ms. Fields,

Thank you very much for sending me the Pre-1700 Projects list, as I definitely will want to make use of it. One question I have is: may I register for several categories? I have ancestry from about 12 different European countries spanning several hundred years and being approved for more than one category seems practical. For example, I have ancestors who came from Sweden and Spain to Philadelphia in the early 19th century, but I have their ancestry going back to the 16th century or earlier. Again thank you for your kind "greeting" and offer of assistance. I do appreciate it! All my very best, S (Stephen)

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the message and question. My suggestion is to choose a project of a major interest to you to join first. Explore the project and see how involved it might be. Once you are settled into that project, then choose another one and then repeat. It is okay to belong to multiple projects but getting started in them is usually best one step at a time.

I appreciate your message and I hope you enjoy your WikiTree journey!

Ginny
