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".
The following instructions have been written to help those chatters unfamiliar with the process.

- ** Email addresses should not be added to chat messages. This is how Spammers get hold of email addresses. Added email addresses will be removed.
- We need each researcher to provide their ancestral research so we can all help each other to build our ancestral trees. Emailing each other privately makes a nonsense of the purpose of our Chat Rooms

| 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. |

| 18th Apr 23 | 08:12:38 | Carole Parkes | Hi Bruce, I think you realised some time ago that your William Holt 1831/1832 was born far too late to be the nephew of General Holt. Have you perused the Irish catholic parish registers? They are hard work but worth it if you manage to find your family. |
| 18th Apr 23 | 06:40:57 | Carole Parkes | Hi Bruce, unfortunately, the person who owns this website doesn't seem to be available to maintain it. I have also changed my email address but have to sign in under my old one. I don't have Ber's email address and would guess that she too has changed it anyway as we both have. Neither Ber nor I can log into the ancestor List to edit the information there. It seems such a shame since we all worked so hard to glean the various bit of information contained there. It is still accessible to read thank goodness. hope you get some help with your trip. I'm still no nearer to finding the parents of my Joseph Holt. We do know he was married in Dundalk, Co Louth in 1822. Where were William's children born? |
