Hi ,
I am trying to trace the descendants of William and Bessie HOLMAN (or HOLLMAN) who emigrated to Colorado in the mid 1800s - Salida and Buena Vista (Chaffee County).
The children Amy and Frank both had families and there may have been a William as well. Amy married George Robinson and their son HOLMAN Robinson died in 1963 - in Grand Junction, Mesa County,Colorado. Frank also married and had a son also Frank and probably other children. Holman married Lola Smith and had at least three children , Holly, Bradley and George.

Has anyone come across this family please?

Cheers,

Peter Byford

My Uncle by marriage, Edward George Holman, was from Poncha/Salida, CO. His family came from Canda through South Dakota.

Hi,

I think that this maybe a different family. MIne came over in about 1890 , William and Bessie Holman and their children. He worked for the railway in Brighton and I think may have worked ion the railway in US as well. Salida and Buena Vista were both mentioned in his letters.
Regards,
Peter
