661 vii Preface Over the past 25 years, I have conducted much research and collected many pictures, letters, and stories about the Hollier families of southern Louisiana. During my research, I realized that a complete picture of the genealogy of these families had never been published. I felt that compiling a book was the best way to share this information with family members in a format that is hopefully easily accessible to everyone. I have attempted to appeal to the casual reader with the stories, photographs, and manuscripts so the memories of the families therein are not forgotten. I have also attempted to appeal to the serious genealogist by including detailed genealogies with all available source citations. As with any work of genealogy, research is not always accurate; mistakes are always present. Family history is a living work and always a work in progress. Although I have spent countless hours reviewing and correcting as much as possible, I know there are still gaps and errors. In some cases, exact birth, death, and marriage dates may be incorrect or incomplete. I have striven to research and include as many different sources as available. I am always happy to hear from relatives and to accept additional information or corrections to be included in future editions. The best way to contact me is via my family history website at http://www.holliergenealogy.info or via email at [email protected]. Mark Edwin Hollier 2016 viii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my mother Rose (Dufilho) Hollier, as she was the one who got me hooked on genealogy and has provided much encouragement and help along the journey. Thanks to my wife, Rhonda (Venable) Hollier, who has spent countless hours reviewing and editing this work. To Bernard and Nellie (Smith) Venable, who have both helped in many areas of my research and provided many photographs and documentation. To John Hollier, who has also worked many years researching the Hollier families and helped in so many ways to solve many of the Hollier genealogy puzzles. To Russell Hollier, for spending many hours reviewing the draft in fine detail and correcting many grammatical errors, as well as helping to translate from the original French and Spanish. To Bridget Hinton, who helped with the family of Felix Hollier Sr. and provided photographs and other information from her private collection. To Renee Hollier, who helped with photographs and information about her grandparents, Philip Sr. and Odile (Dore) Hollier. To the late William Charles Hollier, who has been researching the Hollier families for many years and provided information on the Richard Martin Hollier family, and much encouragement. To Jardell (Hollier) McMillan, for providing photographs and information for the Joseph Edgar and Carrie Emerline (Davidson) Hollier family. To Anna Marie (Silvia) Hayes and her late husband Simon John Hayes, for providing photographs and other information from their private collection. To David Hollier, for providing photographs and genealogy research done by his late uncle Bradley Hollier.
