Welcome to Official Website of the Descendants of Valentine Hollingsworth, Sr, Society


   Welcome to The Hollingsworth Family Website. We are attempting to put all the descendants of Valentine Hollingsworth, Sr, here. The material comes from countless sources. Hundreds of documents and books, in many libraries, and individuals who have told us their linage. Although we strive to do our best, we realize there are errors, omissions and wrongful additions. With your assistance, we can improve and grow.

    The Descendants of Valentine Hollingsworth Society (DVHS) publishes the HOLLINGSWORTH HERITAGE Quarterlies, ISSN 1085-6080. The SOCIETY welcomes all descendants and interested researchers of the Hollingsworth, Ree, Calvert, Conoway, Malin, Atkinson, Robinson, Cook, Harlan, Heald, Thompson, Tyler, Rodgers (Rogers) and related lines during the 1575 - present periods within England, Northern Ireland and Colonial (later PA, DE, MD, VA) developments.
