How do you get all your names on Is it an app?

Joyce,

All of my information is in RootsMagic and Family Tree Maker. I use the program to create an Ancestor's report in FTM for the key person, then copy/paste that into the blog platform and then edit it to the final product.

It is not automatic, but is not much work each week.

Hi, Randy

You cite the 3rd edition of Carl Boyer (which I admire greatly) for your information about Joseph Holloway. It should be noted that the Great Migration Directory (2015) says that Joseph Holloway's English origin is unknown, and gives 1639 as the date of his arrival in New England. While his marriage to George Allen's daughter does not seem to be in question, Boyer's date and place certainly are questionable. As a rule, I would say that GMD information supersedes anything almost twenty years old. Of course it, too, will be subject to revision.

These are my ancestors as well and it's an interesting family. I think it's worth noting that the name is generally spelled HOLWAY. Your ancestress was part of a migration to New Jersey, my Holways remained in Barnstable County, where my great-great grandmother was born in 1819. They were Quakers. I think we must be 8th cousins or so!
