JOHN B. HOLLANDER-TEXAS

A John Hollander of Texas was my g-grandfather.
Not the same John, however, but could be related?
It is believed that this branch of my family is cross related to Edith Sarah Hollander (Frank).
Edith Hollander was married to Otto Frank, and they were parents of Anne Frank -- the little girl whom the movie 'Diary of Anne Frank' portrayed.
My John Hollander married my g-grandmother Lula/LolaMae/May--I don't know her surname.Theylived around Lubbock Texas. John and Lula had about 12 kids. John was murdered (gun shot)in a grocery store when he and his son 'Willie' went to get Martha Hollander-Coat(e)s (John's daughter). It seems Martha had a boyfriend John and willie wanted to protect her from.
Some of John's and Lula's children were:
Martha--Martha married Hubert Coat(e)s, William "Willie", TC, Evely(n), Skinny,
Peat?(daughter),and Lotha Beatrice(Bea).
Bea is my grandmother.
Bea married Benjamin (Benny) Edmond Thomas(s)on.
The Thomasons, Luke and Sarah (Wright) Thomason, had about 10 kids.
Eventually most of the Hollander kids died,
Martha (Coat(e)s) was the last to die--a few years ago in the 1990s.She was very old.
Does any of this ring a bell?
Thanks,
Belinda
