Comments

My brother's tree may have information that is useful. My name is Roger Holt and his name is Alan. Our family came from the Alsace-Loraine region of Europe and parts of the family settled in North Carolina and Lincoln Co. Tennessee.  If you have any information that might link us I would be very interested and I am also interested in just saying hello to family.

Sincerely,

Roger Holt
