I don't know much about the Roberts side of my family. My cousin, Bethany Oesting, has done some research and we're still trying to dig deeper. As Roberts is a Welsh name I'd like to trace my lineage back to before we came to America, but the farthest back we get is a soldier in the revolutionary war.

Biography
I was born in Chicago in 1961, but my parents moved back to California soon after that. Mom and Chris divorced when I was a baby, and mom met Hoyt Axton a short time later. They moved in together in LA, and married when mom was pregnant with my brother, Michael. My sister, April, was born a few years later. Hoyt never adopted me, but I always considered him "dad".
After some success as an actor and songwriter, Hoyt joined in the popular celebrity exodus from LA to a more "natural" lifestyle. We moved to a log lodge on 60 acres of timbered land, about 20 miles from Roseburg, OR. I don't actually have a lot of memories of him being there with us, as he was often gone to record in LA or go on the road, and he was only with us there for a couple of years anyway, before mom got tired of his philandering and they divorced. We stayed behind in the lodge while he moved back to California, first to Beverly Hills and then to Lake Tahoe.

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.
