Dear Lois,
There is also a Parish called Holte where my 2GGF was baptised. He was born in the town of Laehden which is also fairly near to a city called Holte. I found his emmigration documents at Osnabruck Archive. This Holte is East of Meppen and north of Herzlake. Other cities nearby are/were Bokeloh to the southwest and Hassalune to the south.
This area is part of what is called the Emsland or Weser Ems. I have an old map. Email me privately and I will send to you if you like. The map is cut of but there is a border just to the east of Holte which I believe was Westphalia.
Regards,
Barb
