The General's Chat Room
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
With the retirement in Australia of Pamela Goesch and Lionel Fowler after approximately sixty years spent researching the true descendants of General Joseph Holt, Bernadette (Ber) Holt has offered her research services to our chat rooms. We would all be aware of and appreciate Ber's amazing family research abilities. The Holt Family Fellowship researchers are extremely lucky to receive such a wonderful offer. Most of us understand the tremendous work that this involves. The Holt Family Fellowship has accepted Ber's offer with our deepest gratitude. It is fitting that our family research in our chat rooms will now be based in Ireland.
The Holt Family Fellowship reserves its right to restrict this generous service if necessary. Our chatters are reminded of the principles of "fair dealing".

| 9th Jan 25 | 12:39:25 | Kerrie Parkinson | Hi everyone and thanks for letting me join. I am in NSW, Australia. I have just come across this site and very keen to learn more and join a few more dots in my research. My great grandfather was David Holt (from Cheshire) who had 2 (possibly 3 children) with Esther Holt (Ireland - mother was Margaret Latta) in Orange, NSW. I am trying to confirm that I have the correct Esther Holt as the DOB on David and Maryann's birth certificates indicate she would have been born around 1822. Hopefully more DNA matches will help me connect the dots, but I am very happy to have found this page to help my research. I look forward to learning more and chatting with everyone |

| 10th Mar 24 | 08:48:19 | mary byrd | Hello all, I was in Ireland for Christmas and New Years. I was able to go by the stone in Roundwood dedicated to Joseph Holt. (I was last there in 1998 when it was dedicated.). There is a sign on a main intersection in Roundwood pointing the road to it but it is pretty easy to pass it. The writing is illegible now due to weather effects. Because I live in a town in the US that is looking to have Blessington IE as a sister city, I have been in contact with a Liam Cullen who is a council member in Blessington. It turns out he grew up in Roundwood and knows Holts there. by email he said he would try to see if there are any stone masons or other who could re-do the stone marker. Glad to see there are still familiar names on the chat room. I have been away from doing genealogy research for quite a while but recently cousins here have asked for information so I will need to get files more organized! |

| 25th Aug 23 | 12:59:01 | Daniel Fowler | G'day fellow Holt family members. After a number of attempts over the past years to put together my own family tree on ancestry.com, I thought this would be the best place to find a detailed family tree that has already been established. Would one of you here have a link or a copy of the family tree. I do recall a number of years ago I was shown a book that had been published which had the family tree already put together, including what number ancestor we were. Does anyone have a copy or know where I could get one? Thank you. |
