Linda and I are preparing to go to Northern Ireland , Scotland and England. We will first be going to the PRONI in Belfast to do research in the Genealogical Library and to look up references submitted to us by Rob Hull of California who has been doing research of the Hull Family in Northern Ireland. We will also be looking up or trying to locate descendents of Samuel Hull a brother to Thomas Hull II. Samuel lived as a school teacher in Lisburn just to the south of Belfast. We have located where he lived, have a picture of him and have located his grave marker. We will then go to Dublin and pick up our cousins Dean and Kristen (Kris is the daughter of Bill Hull of Pocatello) They will then join us to travel to the town of Dungiven, Northern Ireland. Dungiven is the town where our family lived back in the 17-1800's and some descendents still live there. We will be staying at the home of Janet Hynds a descendent of Peggy Jane Hull the daughter of Thomas Hull II. During our stay we will visit the orginal home of the Hull family, do research on the Miller and Benson family and also do research for Cynthia Hull of Australia who wants more information on John Hull another brother of Thomas who went to Australia and left several children and his wife in Dungiven. He got sick in the gold fields if Victoria and died. Part of our trip will be to locate Hull families and collect some basic family information and also sign them up for a DNA study to help prove their connection with our family. We have about five families that connect to our family through this DNA test. We will use this to connect or eliminate this possibility with the Hulls we visit. Many Hull cousins back in Utah have donated funds to pay for these tests and this allows us to go and ask for the test without having them to have to pay money which they probably wouldn't do.
Scotland: After researching and visiting Dungiven, Limavady, Colleraine and Liburn we will feary over to Ayr, Scotland to visit where my family, specifically Thomas Hull II and his family went during the potato famine in the late 1830s to work in the coal mines near Dalry, Scotland. There in a place called In-The Den they met the Mormon missionaries and joined that church and after a few years immigrated to first Pennsylvania, Illinois, on to Salt Lake, Idaho and then back to Hooper, Utah. Many of the family had already immigrated to Scotland, South and Western Australia and New Zealand. We will also search around Glascow to locate the descendents of James Hull and some cousins of ours in Ardroson, Scotland. After two or three days we will then go to the northern part of Eastern England to do searching for some of Linda's family in the Durham area and then down to the Liverpool area to visit the origins of William Gibson Hull's wife's home and her ancestors, the Rigbys, Cadwicks and Hespeths. After visiting this area we will return to Dublin and return to Utah and Kris and Husband to Arizona. As we visit each area I will post pictures, blogs and information that we collect and tell about the people we meet.
I would like to thank Rob Hull, our DNA cousin from California, for his detailed research and diligence in helping me prepare for the research in Belfast. Also I must give much credit to Cynthia and Murray Hull of Australia for their persistance in collecting family informationand for pushing me to find more. They went with us ti Ireland two trips ago and we will miss them and my Sister Carol who is always interested and supportive. When I go on these trips I always take along a copy of the Robert Rigby Hull Book as my road map. I try never to ignore or take credit for all of the great work the family researchers have done before. In order to collect and keep tract of all of the information we are going to attempt to use our family website to be our personal library. Robert Parker, grandson of Grace Hull, has designed and made the website to store all of the photos, histories, documents and family records which as been quite a job. Thanks Robert. So on with the show. See you in Ireland.
