Chances are slim but I'm hoping that someone on this list might somehow know something
about my ancestors, Charles and Martha COLLINS ROBBINS. All I know about them is their
names and that they were the parents of Melvin ROBBINS born 28 February 1884 in Culver,
Marshall Co, IN. I got this information from Melvin's Social Security card
application.
A couple of people have tried to help me find information about this family and have come
up with a Charles and Martha ROBBINS in the 1880 census for North Twp in Marshall Co.
This couple had two children then: Oscar (11/12) and Charles (4). One of these
volunteers also found a Melvin ROBBINS in the 1900 census living in LaPorte Co, IN as a
servant. I have no way of knowing if these ROBBINS folks are mine or not. So, I'm
hoping maybe someone else is researching this family and might be able to give me some
definitive answers so that I can try to obtain some documentation about my ancestors as
well as go back a generation (or more) farther on this line.
I would appreciate any help in getting through this brick wall. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Amy Robbins-Tjaden
