I am trying to find out 2 of Frank M.Holls' daughters Olive Gertrude Holl and Phyllis Holl, the other 2 I know about as one being my grandmother Madeline, and the 4th being Ada Holl now called Ada M. Reynolds autobiogapher who wrote her fathers' autobiography and whether she had any family of her own? I am a decendant of Frank M Holl.
If anyone out there knows there whereabouts of the decendants of Mr Frank M.Holls' 2 other daughters, would they please contact my e-mail address, I am the decendant of his oldest daughter who was my grandmother Madoline Holl-Evans. I am reading the book of Ada Constance Reynolds that I have in my possession.
I saw your article that you are looking for the decendants of Frank Holl's 2 daughters. I am a decendant of Olive Gertrude Holl and she was my great grandmother. I would like to contact you, Madeline's granddaughter. As far as I know that Ada had a son called Brian but don't know whereabout he is. Hope to hear from you.
I am an art historian researching Frank Holl. I saw the previous comments on this website from his descendants & am wondering if any of you would be willing to contact me. I am trying to find more information about Holl & his work. Ada Reynolds's biography mentions that her father kept a journal. If anyone still has this journal, I would be very grateful for permission to have a look at it.
I wrote the above comment. I am still looking to contact any of Frank Holl's descendants. Please email me at akorda@umail.ucsb.edu.
