To all the ones on this list who have guided me in searching for my Holtz family I want to heartily Thank You. I won't name all of you because I might miss someone.
I have been able to place all the little villages where my family lived and worked, thanks to Karl-Heinz Schroder. Also a number of you have led me to the right films from the Family History Center.
Today I tried to read the film 0069607, the church records of Sietow Parish. I did find my Great Grandfather's birth record but could not find his Father or his Grandmother's birth record. The writing in the old script was rather poor.I think I could have figured it out if it had been well written. So much for that. At least I tried.
But where do I go from here? ? ?
It is possible my family lived in Schleswig -Holstein before 1814 which is the earliest date I have so I will search there also but stay on this list too.
Thank you again. [glad I am not researching my husband's family-Smith]
