Scotland

Elder Kauhane and Kristin and Dean. This picture was taken in Dalkeith a suburb of Edinburgh.

The home or place called Glencart, the home where William Gibson Hull was born and where Thomas and Mary lived for a few years. It is located in IN-the-Den, a small mining community, and near Dalry, Scotland.


Dan and Linda Hull
We spent the day in Edinburgh and was able to see the sights-castles, churches and most of the Royal Mile. Linda located where the Morrisons had lived for three or four generations and we went by and took some pictures there. They all must have worked for the queen because they all lived within a stones throw of the Royal Mile, which is the heart of Edinburgh. We then went down to find a place near where a missionary friend of Dean and Kristin was serving and we found a nice place to stay. We invited the Elder Kauhane and his companion Elder Drennan over for breakfast. It turns out that it was his birthday and so we had an early celebration and then we went to church at the Dalkeith Ward. It was small but very nice and Linda even found a few more leads on her Morrison quest.
I think Dean has taken about 1600 pictures and I have another 300 so it will with all of the records and information take us months to catelogue all. We arrived in Sunderland, England tonight about 6 pm and we have a place near the sea so it will be nice and it isn't too cold. It has been stormy the last week so we actually saw the sun most of the day as we traveled across Scotland to England.
We have been gone along time and hope all are well. So far we have placed three testing kits for DNA and I hope to place one more in Leeds, England. We will do research here for two days and then go to the Rigby family site near Liverpool for a few days. Well have a good week. Dan, Linda, Kristin and Dean
