Does someone have access to the US records on Ancestry? I have only signed up for the UK part......and really want to get my hands on some information on Rev Joseph Holdich (who moved to US in the 1820s) on there!! Please let me know if anyone can help....I would be really grateful if someone can access it. Best wishes Neil

Thanks for the information, and yes this is defintely him. He was Secretary of the American Bible Society, and I can see some information on ancestry which must relate to him as in Morristown or New Jersey, but cannot access it, which is a bit frustrating! If anyone has access, please let me know! Neil
