The Rowler/Roller Family

Hieronymus Roller of Germany

The background on this page was chosen because the information "came out of the blue." Many thanks to Nola Rains, a wonderful genie in IN, who sent most of the following information on one of our "missing links" and added two Revolutionary War patriots! Greg Williamson, Gail Siverling and Fritz Roller, other Roller reseachers have added more information. If you know anything about these Rollers, please get in touch!
Our direct line is in bold; the + means there is another generation on this page.
