| Query: If
there are any of the grandchildren of Boyd Allen HOLLIDAY and Nora Harriet
CODY who are on the net, they share with me a fourth
great grandfather, William Holliday of Drax, Yorkshire England. I
have complete details of the Holliday line from Boyd Allen Holliday to
William and even for three generations before him: but I only have a very
scanty knowledge of Boyd Allen Holliday's family in Decatur consisting
basically of the fact that he had 11 children of whom at least four are no
longer living. If you have any knowledge please get in touch with me - and I will be glad to share my knowledge with you. Reply: January 30, 2002 Just happened to catch this name. My Grandmother, Lucy Kennedy Witham knew the Holidays in Decatur Co. I will look into my records to see if I can find you anything useful. Kathy Leroy kleroy@hotmail.com |
