Welcome

I am carrying out extensive world-wide genealogical research on the Hollyer surname and its close variants Holyer and Hollier. I have registered the three names with the Guild of One-Name Studies (Member No 2941). Hollyer was my mother’s maiden name, but I’m now interested in anyone who bore the names Hollyer, Holyer or Hollier anywhere in the world. Use the links on the left to explore the site, or 'Take the Tour'.

Do get in touch with me if you have any connection with these names. I’m always interested in new connections and may be able to identify your own ancestry. You can read about day-to-day activity via the Hollyer Blog.
