This section of the Web site holds the family histories of several contributors. The histories are presented in several differing forms, - simple descendency trees, descendency reports, family fact files, or genealogical reports, for instance. There are also direct links to other Web sites which provide comprehensive ancestral data.
You are invited to sample from the histories presented below. We would be delighted to receive any contributions from other contributors.
| James Nicholl of Ballymena | James Nicholl is the great-great-great-grandfather
of Edward McKillop Nicholl (<[email protected]>), designer
of this Web site. Due to the fragmented nature of Northern Irish
genealogical records for the early part of the 19th Century, little
is currently known about this James Nicholl - other than that he lived
in Ballymena, County Antrim, and was father to the children shown on
the Tree. |

| Josiah Nicholl of Tennessee |

| James Nickill, 1740 |
Bromfield Nicholl provides the descendency tree of James Nikill of the townland of Magherabeg, Fahan Parish, County Donegal, Ireland, ca. 1740. James Nikill's wife's name has not survived but from contemporary Church of Ireland and surviving civil records he had at least three sons: John Nichol, James Nichol and William Nichol. |
| John Nicholl, 1734 | Robert Starrs provides the descendency
tree of John
Nicholl, resident in Ballycastle, County Antrim, in 1734. |
| Robert Nichol, 1770 |
Victor Paul of 4 Ashcroft Place, Christchurch 8005, New Zealand has produced a detailed descendency report on his Nichol / Nickle ancestry from County Tyrone, starting with Robert Nichol (born pre 1770).
Victor Paul notes that "My mother was a NICHOL and I've found that they also used NICHOLL and NICKLE spelling in the 19thC. The family story is that the family were originally McNICHOL (or McNICKLE). That suggests Scottish plantation origins. Mum was born on the family farm very close to Omagh in County Tyrone. This was the townland of Crosh, parish of Cappagh. They were Methodists and went to the Mayne chapel of the Omagh and Fintona circuit. I would expect they were Church of Ireland or Presbyterian pre-Methodism. As far as I've traced the family were always within a few miles of Omagh. Some families they married into were CLEMENTS, GIVAN, McFARLAND." |
