Re Holtzheuser Family in North America. I am researching the origins of The Holtzheuser Family in NA. My research indicates that during the 1730's 40's and 50's a number of Holtzheusers migrated from Germany to he Netherlands. My branch stayed in The Netherlands, while most sailed for America. possibly to escape religious or economic problems. Once in America (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or New Jersey) The family expanded and migrated through North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisianna and Texas and other points westward, including Illinois and Iowa. I am looking for any links. Theo (Hint: Jacob, Casper Johann or Johan, Christoph, Valentin or any of their siblings or descendants)
