Are you familiar with www.rootsweb.ancestry.com and their Surname Message Boards?

Here is one I where have written about my Hollingsworth family who migrated from Tennessee to Kentucky to Texas in search of more information. Perhaps an email to this message board about your family would help you in your research, too.

If you are still a part of www.ancestry.com, I would appreciate copies of any Hollingsworth material, photographs, etc. that you might have. I am a Hollingsworth descendent from John B. Hollingsworth with migration to Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas
Once you subscribe to the Hollingsworth Surname Message Board, you can post queries to this RootsWeb website.

Have you looked at RootsWeb Surname List? There are 721 entries for the Hollingsworth Surname showing From and To Dates with Migration Patterns, the submitter's user name code, and comments. My example looks like this without the column formatting:
