The "What's New!" graphic was created by modifying an animated gif. The original can be viewed at the Victorian Animated GIF website.

I am currently in the process of revising and updating this web page. I didn't want to wait until I had completed everything to put it on the web, because it might never be complete. So please understand that some pages are incomplete or under construction at this time. I hope to update and add new pages often.

Family History Notes and Acknowledgements

Notes from Hal Holenbeck

The following information was pieced together with much help from Hal Holenbeck and Mike Hill who are descendants of Egbert Otis Holenbeck. Hal Holenbeck would like to acknowledge that most of the leg work regarding his contribution was by his brother, James Delbert Holenbeck, Jr. According to bible records, Egbert was the son of Urias (Eurias) Holenbeck of New York. Hal indicated that the name was faint but started with a "U" and that he had 3 sons, Egbert Otis, Henry and James.

If you are unfamiliar with this outline form, it is based on a numbering system that identifies the generation of an individual. The base is EGBERT OTIS AND PARILLA HUME. In this system they are numbered 1. Their children are #2 . Their grandchildren are #3 and so on. This was started before we were aware of Eurias Holenbeck, and some day we may change all the #s.

Please help by making additions and corrections to your line. Dig out the old letters and Bibles and talk to everyone you can. Visit the cemeteries, stop at the County Hall, check with funeral homes for records. Date and location of birth, death, marriage, burial whatever information you find will help. Don't forget the "new" generations.

Acknowledgements from Hal

It is hard to think of this website as a beginning. Some of us have been "playing" with the family history for a while. At times it seemed that the effort required to track all 15 children of E. Otis and Perilla Holenbeck was too daunting to complete by myself. I was right. When I had just about burned myself out, a voice came out of ether space and offered much needed assistance. Though not directly connected with our line (yet), Robert Kleopfer the great mentor of Holenbeck Genealogy patiently answered questions, sent information, hints and connected me to Mike Hill and his wealth of facts. Without Robert; Mike, Pam and I would have simply put our separate work away to gather dust, and join the myriad of other bits and pieces of family knowledge scattered around this country.

The task is still not completed. We have many families to add, and further ancestors to find. But with close to 30 "cousins" on line now and more being added weekly, I believe we will succeed. To all of you that have contributed information, photos, and/or documents to the work, thank you. If you have been putting off sending something, now is your chance. Because of you, our children will have a unique opportunity to discover their heritage.
