Timothy:
My daughter-in-law is a Holland. She is 22 years old and the mother of my
first grandchild. I am curious as to how recent this Holland line covers.
Perhaps if it has 1900 information in it I could actually make a connection
for her. I have not researched this line and had not previously planned on
it, but maybe it would be a nice present. Her father died 2 years ago. It
might mean alot if there is a connection.

My other daughter-in-law is from the Loftin and Bledsoe lines of VA. Funny
how she could meet my son in Northern Idaho and later find out they come
from the same stock. (I'm not sure 'stock' is the right word. I guess I
mean their ancestors had the same experiences. Maybe that is why they think
alike today.)
