Elvira White is writing a book
We have a cousin named Elvira White who lives in California. She is writing a book about the Holley Family. She also says that Holley was actually spelled Holly. Interesting...
She has done research that goes back in to slave records and will be telling us more about her findings at the reunion.
This is exciting!
