Holyland

[Annie65115]

I have just registered the surname Holyland with GOONS. I’ve included the variants Hollyland, Holliland and Holiland. There were other deviant versions such as Holeland or even Hollowland but these seem to have been one-off misspellings. NOT included is the surname Holland or various Scandinavian names which look superficially similar to internet search engines  but are clearly different to anyone with eyes!

If anyone has any information on any Holylands, I’d be delighted to hear from you. Similarly of course I will try to help on any queries regarding this surname - I can’t promise success but I have a lot of info and I do promise to respond to queries!

You can find my contact details on the GOONS website if you search for Holyland (I’m writing this post in Dec 2019 and I don’t think the list will be updated  for a month or so so if you’re reading this thread when it’s v new, I might not be there just yet!). Or of course you can contact me via Rootschat.

Update: I'm doing a blog about the Holyland history, which I hope will be interesting to anyone interested in the surname:
