G2G: Comments on George Washington Holmes

Question

On 8 Apr 2023 Shannon Holmes wrote on Holmes-18127:

Hello, this profile and Holmes-21856 seem to have many similarities. The source that is attached names Josiah Holmes, Holmes-21734, and Elizabeth Holmes, Jones-132637, as the parents. Some decedents look similar to some that I have in my personal tree. I think perhaps they should be merged but details should be verified prior. Thank you

Answer 1

Hi Shannon, these are 2 different profiles. My gr grandfather, George Washington Holmes, was b.1843 in Lowell, MA and d. 1922 in Brunswick,MN. I have visited his grave many times. His father is Barney Holmes b. 1807 in Lyndonborought, NH and d. 1845 in Lowell, MA. His mother is Jane Cooper b. in Maine, that is all the information I have.

Hello Virginia,  the attached source has the birth state as Indiana.  Perhaps that's why I was confused and thinking there were potential connections.  Thank you
