Surnames: Mertise, Mertize, Dire, Holden Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CCC.2ACE/2394 Message Board Post: My husband Mark Holden is the son of Sidney Holden from Spokane Washington. Sidney just recently died and we are looking for his children with a woman by the name of Faith Mertise Dire. She had I think two daughters . He also had a daughter with Faith's sister Hope. From what I understand Faith's father was Frederick Mertise. He was a Deacon in the Mormon church in Spokane or near Spokane Washington. Sidney also had a son with a woman by the name of Bernice, I don't know the last name. We are looking for these children of Sidney G. Holden. They should be in their 40's. Please email me if anyone knows of any information on these people.
