Author: pepperdog_1 Surnames: Holt, Short Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.holt/3329/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am related to Nicholas Holt of Andover Mass. He came over from England in 1634. My father's Y chromasome ancestry is linked to another Holt family from Lancashire. Unfortunately they only can trace their family back to the 1700s. I am trying to figure out where Nicholas's descendants are from... and am hoping that more Holts who trace their ancestry from Holts in the Lancashire area have or will do the y chromosome DNA testing. It would be great if we could link up the Holts from New England to Holts in the UK. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
