Robb Family History & Genealogy

 

I am researching my family tree. At this stage I have hit a roadblock. The history for my paternal grandfather’s side of the family is very sparce. We have few details. Beyond my grandfather it is even worse. All we know is that his name was John Robb and his wife’s family name was Berry.
If you believe you have any information relating to this family please contact me.
