All I've managed to find thus far is that "Ro(e)hm" was a pilgrim/merchant traveler to Rome, and that "Hol(d)t" is a word for wood. Would this make my ancestors lumber salesmen at the Roman markets, or is there something more intriguing behind my oft mispronounced and misunderstood surname? Cheers!
