My mother was a '' Roberts '' and her brother (my uncle) is Roberts from Northern Michigan and Lt. Roberts looks like he was from Southern Michigan . My Uncle maintains a '' Roberts'' of Michigan site at Rootsweb and I looked around and didn't find Lt. Roberts but I did find alittle information . I highly doubt his parents would still be alive but you never know , possibly some of his other relatives may still be alive , brothers , sisters , cousins , etc . I'll list some of the websites I found info below:

Fort Sill OCS

This is a .pdf file on Lt.Roberts which includes info on what he was doing when he was killed in action (KIA) , rank , military serial number , and even a photograph of Lt. Roberts and where he is buried in France .

SURNAME SECOND NAME SERIAL # RANK DIED CO


ROBERTS RUFUS L O-1169306 1 LT KIA JAC

The '' CO '' and ''JAC '' above would be Jackson County in Michigan as we group a number of cities into Counties .

Below is a well known site that has Lt.Roberts records but you would have to pay to get the information .
U.S. Military Collection
World War 2 Records

You could try emailing my uncle (Larry ) and inquire , he would probably tell you Lt.Roberts isn't in our family tree , but maybe he could look into it for you and give you more information , no promises though because I rarely talk to him .
