Greetings David!

I would be most interested to know whether members of the Holloway and
Engelbrecht families are listed. My maternal 3rd great-grandfather George
Holloway, his siblings and cousins were all hoteliers: Kuils River, Sir Lowry's
Pass Village, Gordon's Bay, Driekoppen (Mowbray), Kalk Bay, Papendorp
(Woodstock) and maybe others...

Much obliged
