"I have gathered a posie of other men's flowers,
and nothing but the string that binds them is mine own."
--Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1553-1592)


I am a retired public school teacher, living in a small isolated desert town in the southeastern California. I have been researching the Roll and related families since 1957, and have portions of my genealogy on the internet in various locations.

My ancestors in the historic past are mostly from Ireland, Scotland, England, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, and France. My living relatives hail from six of the seven continents.

Some of my research appears online:
