Welcome to the Robson Family Tree
My name is Ewan Robson and it has been my life's ambition to research my family history.
My interest didn't really take off until ancestry.com and findmypast became mainstream, thus making it easier to research my family tree and of course cheaper (less traveling). My family tree is published on Ancestry.com, please do take a look. At present there are only just over 800 names which is small in comparison to many trees, but my main interest is to get back as far as I can on my paternal side then branch out over time. Excuse the pun!
The Robson name has been synonymous with sheep stealing across the borders of England and Scotland, and of course occasionally partaking of the female Scot. But since then I hope we have become a little more civilised. This site is mainly for my own enjoyment but hopefully to get other people enthused about their own family history. Although a relative novice I am happy to share in my experiences and knowledge.
Since my enthusiasm and my bank balance took over it has been a roller coaster ride of excitement and disappointment. I haven't found anything that would excite "Who do you think you are" but there are a few interesting tales.
As of 2026, the website is due for a major update. Come back soon for the improvements.
