I like your website altogether, it's beautifully done.

I'm part of the FTDNA study, family Holmes, and relate fairly closely to the Holmeses of Tariffville.

The detail and images of the family members in your writings are particularly interesting.

Thanks for doing it, it will mean much to many.

Sincerely,

Tim Holmes

Stay in touch,
