We Visited Holtzendorff Historical Sites in
Florida, Georgia and South Carolina in April 2000
We traveled in luxury in a rented 2000 Cadillac DeVille.
We flew into Orlando, Florida. Our fun was highlighted by riding
an air boat to see alligators,
swimming at Typhoon Lagoon and visiting Epcot Center. Click

One of the big highlights of this trip was the opportunity to visit New
Ebenezer, Georgia.
New Ebenezer was where William von Holtzendorff (born 1714) had a plantation
that was burned
during the Revolution. Also John Holtzendorff (born 1752) was married
in the Ebenezer church
that is still standing. Click here to

It was also a fun opportunity to visit Purysburg, South Carolina.
Purysburg was where
John Frederick von Holtzendorff (born 1711) had a plantation.
