Holt Family at Coolavacoose

KildareCarbury (Kildare)

Hi,

I have quite a bit of information about the Holt family I am related to atCoolavacoose. I would very much like to reach out to the Holt family, specifically Richard (Holt?) and Sandraor their daughter Carolyn. We share a common ancester back 6 generations.If anyone needs any information about this family line feel free to reach out. I have already used eircom phone directory look up but haven't had any success. I will be visiting Ireland in early August and would love to connect with them. Any suggestions on how to reach out to them would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello,

 

I have a connection to Anthony Holt (1792-1852) who married Mary Grattan (1797-1895) and immigrated to Ontario Canada. Anthony's father, George Holt (1759-1824) was the son of John Holt (1720-1804). My family tree book was last updated in 1995, but it states that they all hailed from Coolavacoose, Carbury, County Kildare.  I am searching for information of the Holt family in Ireland, as well as information about Mary Grattan (and her ancestors), before they immigrated to Canada. 

 

Thank you,

Hi Cherly and MS,

My name is Brian and my Grandmother was Mary Holt Schutte (1900-2000), grandaughter of Thomas Holt (1819-1902).  I'm also Canadian, living in Ottawa.  I just found my copy of the Holt Family Tree (1995) you mentioned above, did a search on Coolavacoose and found your posts.  Just wanted to say Hi to you both.

Cheers,

Brian

Hi there fellow Holt lineage seekers. I too am a Holt searching for information linked to my 5th great grandfather John William Holt from Carbury Kildare. I am currently a member of ancestry dot com and have found so much misinformation on there I have decided to get to the root of finding the correct information about our family tree. I have contacted each of you on this board that has left a contact email and would love to compare notes. I have also used AI to piece together some facts. The problem I'm finding is there is so many Johns and Williams in this branch of the tree, they blur at times. If anyone wants to help put all our puzzle pieces together, perhaps we can accurately create our tree. I'm also a Canadian, Niagara region in Ontario and most seem to be on this board. I'd love to hear from you, reach out and let's chat. My email is bonolicious3@yahoo.ca

Looking forward to hearing from you,

with kindness and gratitude
