Posted on: Brooks Co. Ga Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Brooks/488 Surname: HOLLIS ------------------------- Kathleen, I'm sorry I don't know anything about your William and Julia HOLLIS in Brooks Co., GA or Jacksonville, Duval Co., FL. My BOWDEN and MANNING families were white and/or Native American, and possibley Irish. Good luck in your African-American HOLLIS research.
