Found some stuff!

Hi all,

So I've found some cool stuff online.  Yes--I stayed up tonight messing around on the Internet!  Google is a Family History "buff"'s friend!

I actually had a great experience once finding a "long lost cousin" on a different family line that way--so now I do it to find stuff about Holdsworths (and other family history information, of course).

But--I found this.  I hope it's actually correct--cause if it is, it's the best history I've found thus far:

If you just keep clicking on "parent"--it can eventually take my line all the way back to the 1400's!!!

Here's another cool thing I found:

If you scroll down to Holdsworth, at the Holdsworth Chapel--it gives the information from these men's actual graves in England!!

I believe this is where my line is a little confused---so I'm hoping that this information (which aligns with the actual dates from the other website) may help solve the problem.

Here's hoping, anyway!!

Now--I just have to figure out how to align my family line with some of you other Holdsworth's I've met out there (okay--actually--there's a lot of research that needs to be done using these 2 websites above--but that's another story).  So--hope to blog about that endeavor (of aligning) soon :)

Checking in

So--hello again---


My  mother--whose maiden name is "Holdsworth" passed away a couple days after Christmas from breast cancer.


I told her before she died that I would take over the Holdsworth Family History Work.

So--I have all of the Holdsworth information now (that I could gather at the time) and am going through it a little at a time.

I know where our line is stuck--but am not quite sure how it all works out yet.

Would still love to hear from any Holdsworths--as basically I believe it is true that if your surname is Holdsworth---

Spelled that way (as above) we likely come from the same line somewhere!

Thank you for still checking out this blog--and please leave comments so that we can keep in contact with each other!

Thank you!
