Bio

I have been collecting information on my family for over 40 years and have found that obituaries and headstones provide the most information. My family names are Nett/Neth, Runau, and St Hillier, and Hollis. For the record, 2 sons of Martin Nett changed their last name to Neth around 1913 & 1920. Probably to help deflate some anti-German sentiment at that time. I would like to thank those people who have transferred some of the family I have found on here. Some have been 1st or 2nd cousins, some others 3rd cousins 1x removed and their spouses. This site is not my family tree. I have four at ancestry.com. But if I do find a member has died and they have been entered on here, it would be nice to keep it in the family. Thank you to those who allow family members to manage family accounts. I am more than happy to offer help to anyone who needs it. God bless! :-)

I've branched out into researching when I find a possible error has been made in Ancestry (or here). The family may not be mine. You may find a family linked in my Ancestry trees that are not a blood relative of mine.
