Where We Are
Holmfirth where Holmvalley is situated is in the county of West Yorkshire and it is famous as the setting for the BBC television series 'Last of the Summer Wine'. But it is also an area of outstanding natural beauty, surrounded by the hills and close to the moors and The Dark Peak area of Derbyshire. There are an abundance of walks in the vicinity, ranging from easy to very tough.

My Ancestors
My 'Middleton' and other ancestors have lived around the Holme Valley for the past 500 years, so if you have a Middleton as an ancestor in this area you are probably related to me some how. The Middleton's from this neighbourhood have migrated to other parts of the world, such as the USA and Australia. 

 

Genealogy
For those people interested in Genealogy or Family History the local society is, 'The Huddersfield and District Family History Society'. I was the Computer Data Co-ordinator for that society and as such I looked after the society's data and wrote software for the HDFHS and other societies. To learn more about the HDFHS follow the link on the Genealogy menu.
