Little Newcastle's pirate
« on: Friday 24 July 09 21:00 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know how i can look into the family links of Barti Ddu - the Welsh pirate.
My husbands family were always told that they may be related to him.  :o
He was called Bartholomew Roberts born 1682 as John Roberts in Little Newcastle in Pembrokeshire.

Any ideas welcome.  :)

Hello Etna, and welcome to Rootschat

You can get quite a few "hits" on the Google search.
It seems a book has recently been published all about the Welsh Pirate - might be worth getting your hands on a copy. Here's a link -

He sounds a really interesting man.

Hi, don't know how old your post is but my family also has the belief that we are related to Bartholomew - have managed to get back to Horatio Roberts (b 1838) - his father is William (working on that).

You may even be a relation of me - ha ha ha

would love to hear from you ((*))

regards

Hello gyan44  :)

Welcome to Rootschat! Sorry that I had to remove your email address but we don't allow email addresses to be posted on the boards.

etna has not been on Rootschat for almost 2 years but if still has the same email address should receive a notification that you have replied.

You will need 1 more Posting before you are allowed to send and receive PMs so just reply to this!

Kind Regards
Morgan
