Hi!  My maiden name is Melanie Holland.  I am descended from John Holland, who was born in Ireland--I'm thinking County Cork, but I'm not sure--in 1829.  Upon arrival in upstate NY, he married a local girl named Fanny Ellis.  If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

Hello,
My grandmother was Emma Catherine Holland, b. 14 Jan. 1883 in Hilliards, Washington Twp., Butler County, Pennsylvania. She was one of four children of William Chrisostian Holland and Della Marie (Todd) Holland. William was one of 14 children of William Holland and Catherine Murrin. This senior William was born in 1816, in Hilliards, PA. He was a lawyer and was called Squire Holland. This William was the son of John Holland and his wife, Susan (Kuhn) Holland. John was born in 1791 in Pennsylvania, and died in 1833 in PA according to my grandmother's records. I have very little information about John and Susan. William is the only child I have listed, but it would have been very unusual in those years for a family to have only one child. I am looking for information about John and Susan Holland and their family.

Hi everyone

I'm researching the Holland family from Portsea Island, Portsmouth, Hampshire - interested to hear from anyone researching the surname in that vicinity.

Do you suppose that "Holland" is a corruption of the name "Haaland"? I've been searching for information on the Haaland family who are found in the 1870 census in Philadelphia. I did find a Louis Heiland who arrived in Phila. in 1858....my ggrandfather's name was Lewis Haaland.

I am having a difficult time tracing this family because of the various spellings of the surname.
