I did find a Lewis Holt in the 1920 Census in Greer County, GRANITE, OKLAHOMA STATE REFORM. He is listed as single and born in "US", born in 1898. I also found the family for his wife....any chance you can order the marriage certificate? If you want to take this privately (instead of on the list) you could send me all the current info you have, the oldest person whose name you do know, their birthdate and location. Usually you work backwards from what you know.... My email is: [email protected] Janet
