Thank You Julie, I've just had a great time searching the "immigrantservants.com" site you listed below. I came up with several Holder indentured immigrants, one of who/whom is probably my ancestor. I then went to the LDS site, IGI and found a list of nine who fit the age criteria for my Holder. This list also tells from where they came in England. Wanda, the average time of indenture is given as 4-5 years with the average age being 15-24 years. It's such fun to find a new place to search!
