Correspondence 1/20/2005 passengers #94, 96 & 97 Holt
I am so excited that I have found my ancestors actually travelling to Canada.  
They are M. Holt (My great grandmother) Nellie Holt (My grandmother) and Bertha Holt 
my great aunt.  They settled in Toronto Canada.  Nellie married Lewis Stock and 
had twins Eileen and Fred, and Joan and Lewis.  They are all now deceased.  If 
anyone knows these people I would be interested in hearing from you. Judi Fowler
