Good morning
I hope you can hlep me. I found your address through some web site on the
internet.
I am looking for information on Franz Jospeh Holzgen who bas born in
Koblenz, Germany, about 1869.
He came to South Africa as a youngster, but I have no idea how old he was.
He became a teacher in South Africa and died on 2 August 1944.
Any idea of where I can get hold of more information on him?
Dr Elize Labuschagne-Hull, Pretoria, South Africa.
Hello,
The LDS "Morman" have a listing of this:
Husband
ADAMI HOELZGEN
Wife
CATHARINAE HUNSDORF
Children
FRANCISCUS HOELZGEN
Birth: 02 OCT 1869
Christening: 06 OCT 1869 Roemisch-Katholische, Bendorf, Rheinland,
Bendorf is a town north of Koblenz
There are 114 listings of Hoelzen (Hölzgen) at the LDS site. They have that
information copied on microfilm, but it appears you cannot get them in South
Africa or Europe unless you belong to the Morman church. You might be able
to trace what they have online if you wish to go farther back in the
Hoelzgen line.
Go here: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
Just ask for Hoelzgen --that is all. Then check "exact spelling" Notice they
are mostly in Rheinland.
Also, you could find some current names in that area by using the telephone
listings for the names:

Good luck,
