I searched the book, "The Descendants of Michael HOLT" compld by Maudie HOLT Harris ..checked all the William's and ancestors but no luck. These HOLTs went on to MO and points north of GA, as far as I can ascertain... So, I have to think that Michael is NOT the line I'm looking for...are there similiarly compiled books of HOLTs that came through VA? I'm now waiting on FHC microfilm of "HOLT Orchard".which I understand from folks has info on the Southern migration of HOLTs. But feel sure there are other books with leads on my William m. Jane TURNER dau. of Wingate/Wingait M. TURNER in GA/SC/? ca. 1820. Other than the above two books, does anyone know of books on OTHER HOLT lines? BTW speaking of books, I was reading the "Georgia Genealogical Society Quarterly", Vol.37, No. 4, p.223. The article was on the genealogical holdings of the Smyrna Public Library, 100 Village Green Circle,Smyrna, GA 30080-2478; Phone: (770) 431-2860; contact person:Rita Davis, Admin. Library Asstnt. Smyrna is located NW of Atlanta in Cobb county, off I-75. Amoung the books the article (contributed by Ann L. Sherman and Jane L. Splawn) mentioned, ". . .The only complete set of books, outside the state of Virginia, by Ruth and Sam Sparacio on records of various Virginia counties is of special interest. This huge collection, with books color-coded by county, is a Virginia researcher's delight." I don't know if the Smyrna Library does inter-lib. loans, but thought I'd mention this. Anyone researching VA counties and living in the area or traveling to Atlanta, Smyrna would be a short day trip. Sometimes the books or info we need aren't necessarily in the logical geographic area we would expect them! I would appreciate such info on other HOLT line locations as well. Thank you for any information/leads/clues. Betty Faye (Double first name..ole Su'th'n custom) Searching for paternal:HOLT, LINDSEY, CARSWELL, TURNER; maternal:CLOUD,CHILDRESS, WHEELER, HARMON.
