Posted on: Tioga Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Tioga/10208 Surname: HOLMES ------------------------- My GGrandfather's sister....Mary Holmes... My Mom wrote this information and that's all she knew. When I began to investigate my roots, the first one I attempted to find anything on was my grandfather. The first thing I found was his arriving in New York on the Oscar II June 28,1909...On the manifest his destination was "Uncle ___ ___(illegible)HOLMES @ RFD#1 Apalachin, NY. I can find nothing on these people. My GGranfather was born in Norway on 1/21/1858 so I would think MARY TENGELSEN HOLMES would have been about that time also.... How she came to be in New York?????? Any help/hints would be much appreciated
