Samuel Mulliner

Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. But it has been a VERY busy few months. There are a lot of exciting things going on right now with the Samuel Mulliner Celebration plans. I thought I’d take a few minutes now to update you on some items that might be of interest to you.

1. I just returned from a two week trip to Europe where I spent a week researching Samuel Mulliner’s ancestry and retracing his footsteps from his missionary experiences in Scotland. What a great trip! We took lots of pictures and we made some great plans for the reunion trip next year. If you are planning on joining us in Scotland next spring, start saving your pennies. Itinerary and cost details will be posted here to the site no later than September of this year. I’ll also be posting some of my experiences from this trip in the coming weeks here on this blog.




2. Descendancy research continues to trudge forward. We have now identified 2,667 descendants of Samuel through the three wives who bore him children. I’ve taken to tracking it by child as it makes it a little more manageable. I’ve also received volunteers by family to help keep track of it all. We will be contacting all of the known living descendants with a direct mail piece in the coming months to make sure we have current and correct information in our master database. Watch for those forms so you can contribute to this growing project. And watch the blog for reports on descendancy counts by child.




3. The family reunion for July 4th Weekend of 2009 to be held here in Utah County is shaping up. If you are interested in helping out, we could use some additional volunteers. Please contact us.

Keep an eye out for more activity here at SamuelMulliner.com in the weeks and months to come! And, as always, if you want to be involved please contact me directly or post a comment here on the blog.
