My goodness, Donna, I'm not sure what to say except thank you! Some of what you've posted here (Holtz family) I have but the Hughes family has been elusive. It appears you have found the correct family line. Now, if I can just make heads or tails of it all. :) I do have a question about what you posted... you state that Lewis Holtz came to the U.S. in 1859... could you tell me where you found that information? I have Lewis' parents and siblings coming to this country but have never found Lewis. Thanks again for ALL your help, it is deeply appreciated.
