I will begin the Robertshaw line with my children. Although their surname is Giorlando, their ancestry includes ROBERTSHAW through their “grandma Marcy’s” line. Read on and you will see how it all fits…
Thomas L. Giorlando  b. 1988, Robert K. Giorlando  b. 1991, Miles P. Giorlando  b. 1995, and Rosalia S. Giorlando,  b. 2000, are the children of Kenneth R. Giorlando  b. 1961 and Patricia L. Fricke (Harms\Logan)  b. 1965.  The two were wed in 1985.
Kenneth is one of five children born to Thomas M. Giorlando  b. 24 Jan 1927 - d. 12 April 1982, and Marcella M. Wessell  b. 1929.  Tom and Marcy married in 1949.
Marcella is the third of four daughters born to Bertram E. Wessell (not sure when or where he was born at this time) and Pearl Emma Clara Robertshaw   b. 18 Feb 1907. Bert and Pearl were married on the 24 June 1925.
All of the above (except for Bert Wessell and Patricia Fricke) were born in the Detroit area.
----------------------------------
  Pearl Emma Clara Robertshaw was the
3rd of five children born to John Raby Robertshaw  b. 6 Sept 1881 (in Canada) - d. 18 June 1962 (in Mt Clemens), and Meta M. Lietz  b. 28 Feb 1886 (in Detroit) - d. 12 Feb 1956 (in East Detroit). They were married in Port Huron on 10 Sept 1902.
John was one of nine children born to Nelson Robertshaw  b. 8 Oct 1852 (in Canada) - d. 21 Dec 1937 (Detroit), and Lindsey "Linnie" Raby  b. 19 April 1858 (in Geddington, England) - d. 3 May 1939 (in Detroit). Nelson and Linnie were married on 28 April 1875 in Orillia, Ontario.
Nelson was the youngest of five childrenborn to William Robertshaw and Mary Shrigley b. ca 1812. I have no further information on these two at this time, but I am fervently working on it and hope to make some connections very soon. Stay tuned…..
