The origins of Gamaliel Robert have been difficult to discover. He is mentioned in a document of Claude Mayor, notary at Ballens, 1593, as the owner of property at St. Livres, adjoining property of Gabriel Tripod, who, in a related document, has brothers Jean and Pierre (or Perrod). There are scattered references to this family at Aubonne. There are also later references in the same area to a different Robert family from Les Verrières, Neuchâtel. Gamaliel is mentioned in several documents of H. Galliard, notary near Aubonne, 1629.
In a document relating to the marriages of his daughter Magdelaine, 30 jun 1641 (Louis Echot, notary), he is called Gamaliel Robert alias Gaddel, of Saugy-sous-Feschy. Gamaliel and Jean Robert are mentioned as communiers of Feschy (07 feb 1614, André Morzier, notary at Rolle). There are also isolated mentions of both men in records of François Morzier (1624, etc.), but we found nothing to establish the relationship between the two men.
At an earlier date, 1592, Michel Favre, notary at Rolle, mentions heirs of the late François Robert and heirs of the late Louis Robert, both at Feschy. He also mentions a document of 1549 recorded by Pierre Robert, notary. From these references, it is clear that the Robert surname has been in the area from the first half of the 16th Century. A document of Claude Mayor, notary at Ballens etc., mentions land next to François Robert 01 jan 1593, even though our François Robert had died by 1592. This citation may simply be a case of carelessness, but it is also possible that it refers to a different man.
A volume recording obligations to Pierre Sonnyer (DR 31/1 at the Archives Cantonales de Vaud) contains at least 9 IOU's written by the notary Pierre Robert in April, 1549. One of these was witnessed by "Jehan Robert frère de moy soubsigné... P Robert". The same volume has an IOU recorded by Pictet, notary, 27 apr 1530, with witnesses Henry Robert and Michel Clerc of Essertines. A similar volume, with dates ranging from 1495 to 1512, also recording debts (in Latin) to a single person, has one undated record in French at the end of the volume, naming Henry Robert as security for a sale of charcoal by Pierre Blanchet of Gimel to Légier de Paurzat (Panczat?). It is not certain at what date notaries in this area switched from Latin to French. The "Inventaire général des archives communales vaudoises", an on-line database maintained by the ACV, shows at least one document recorded by a notary Aymonod Robert in the archives of Rolle, 1461, and apparently the same Aymonod cited again in the 1480's. There is also at least one document recorded by a notary Aymon Robert in the same archives, 1402, and again as late as 1445..
The surviving register of Urbain Campod, notary in the area of Lavigny 1573-1578, contains isolated mentions of Discret Nicolas Robert, notary in 1570, and Egrège Jean Robert of Allamand, notary in 1569. Jean would probably be the brother of the notary Pierre Robert mentioned above. There is also a document concerning a sale of property by Louis Robert of Martheray, 1573 — presumably the same person as the late Louis Robert mentioned above (1592).
The records that finally identify the parentage of Gamaliel are marriage settlements recorded by Etienne Blondel, notary at Rolle (residing for at least most of his career at Mont-le-Grand), in which Gamaliel is mentioned as the brother of Gabrielle Robert (marriage settlement to Jaques DuTruict, 1608) and of Claudine Robert (marriage settlement to Claude Panissod, 1610), daughters of the late François Robert dit Gadel. Neither of the original marriage contracts seems to have survived; the first had been recorded by André Morzier and Benjamin Valier, the second by Jaques Maillard and Aymé Duc.

His testament dated 01 mar 1494 survives as ACV C XX 22/83, recorded by Michael Bassin de Albona clericus notarius publicus. While a small part of the text is obscured in a deep fold of the parchment, it is clear that Humbertus, a priest, was a brother of Michael Robert (the one whose wife was Johanneta).

In the terrier ACV Fi 85 (1493), there is a long section concerning the rents he owes to Amedeus (IV) de Viry, Seigneur de Mont-le-Vieux, followed by a long section for properties held by his brother Petrus Roberti. Their properties had come from their late father Petrus Roberti, and many of them were still held jointly by the two brothers. The next section, however, concerns Johanneta, widow of this Johannes, for property that she had held in her own name, and mentioning her unnamed children. Evidently, Johannes had died before the terrier Fi 85 was completed, but before the properties of his wife were enumerated, and his section was not revised before the terrier was finalized. There is a mention of a property that Johanneta had received from her father, but his name is not given. The next terrier concerning Mont-le-Vieux is Fi 55 (1543), by which time there is no definite mention of this Johanneta. The sources for the terrier Fi 85, technically a quernet or summary of information contained in the latest reconnaissances from other terriers, are far from clear. One source, however, is almost certainly a lost terrier compiled by Aymonodus Roberti of Chastel and Rolle about 1470, attested in a list of terriers from the communal archives of Rolle that were destroyed during the Bourla-Papey incident in 1802. It is entirely possible, however, that there were other sources, particularly for "noble fiefs" and perhaps also for fiefs that had changed hands since 1470. However, as the seigneuries of Mont-le-Vieux and Rolle were combined in 1455, most of the properties at Chastel should have been enumerated by Aymonodus Roberti. We might suppose that the lost terrier of Roberti was compiled over a long period (typical of the larger terriers of the time), thus perhaps 1470-1480 or even later, and that Johannes Roberti died during this interval. His brother Petrus (whose wife was Johanneta Roncigniodi) apparently survived until about 1520, as his widow seems to have made an endowment to the charitable hospital of Rolle in 1521 (discussed in detail in Fg 263, see fols. 89 and 153), for a mass that we presume was intended in his memory.
(Fi 85 also mentions, in passing, a Franciscus Roberti living in the same area, but so far we have found no mention of his relationships. We have completed transcription of almost all of Fi 85, but the analysis is far from complete.)
He is also certainly the Johannes son of the late Petrus Roberti who, acting for himself and his unnamed siblings (and thus probably the eldest son), made a reconnaissance 12 apr 1464 for property subject to the priory of Brussins (Fj 69 fol 255) which his late father had purchased from Nycodus de Gimel.

He made a reconnaissance 30 apr 1506 (ACV Fh 137, fol. 564) for property at Féchy, acting for himself and for his brother Petrus, who was not present. His sons Pierre, Colin, and Michel made a reconnaissance 30 mar 1522 (Fh 144, fol. 575), by which time their father was already dead. Michel and Pierre made another reconnaissance 22 sep 1533 (Fh 146, fol. 63), but with no mention of their brother Colin, who must have died before this date; this document gives the names of Jeannette Gaczel's father and grandfather. Apparently the same Pierre (though no parentage is given) made a reconnaissance in 1537 (ACV Fh 149), cited in 1606 (ACV Fh 171) in a reconaissance by this grandsons Pierre and Jean Robert and another by Marguerite Tardy, widow of their brother Gabriel Robert.
Occasionally he is called Ludovicus Robert alias Gaczel, but at other times alias Gadel. It is clear that the alias Gadel must derive from Gaczel. All of the families called Robert dit Gadel in later records should be descendants of Michael Robert and Johanneta Gaczel. The terrier or quernet Fi 55, circa 1543, for property subject to the seigneurie of Mont-le-View and Rolle, mentions at least one property adjacent to the heirs of Ludovicus Gadel, evidently at Villard supra Perruys (fol. 796).
In the terrier Fh 10, fol. 313v, there is a reconnaissance by Petrus et Michael filii quondam Ludovidi filii quondam Michaelis Robeti alias Fabri de Crousaz subtus Fechier, dated 10 sep 1524 Style of the Nativity. On this occasion, Michael is absent. The reconnaissance refers back to a previous one made by the said (elder!) Michael their grandfather in his own name and that of his wife Johanneta daughter of Perrodus Gazelli (in a terrier compiled by commissaire Guilliermus Berardi).
