+====== Origins ======
+{{ :randall_rd-martin_georgia.jpg?direct&600|Randall Road, near Martin (Stephens County) Georgia. Just a few miles from the Randall / Mitchell Family cemetery - where [[oney_cypress_randal|Oney Cypress Randal]] is buried.}}
+You may be surprised to see the title of our genealogy as the “Bull-Randall Family”. This is because the surname of our ancestors was originally “Bull”. Families with the Bull surname have been fraught with surname changes to Buhl, Buell, Boyle, Turnbull, and in our case – Randall. Interestingly, even after [[john_bull|John Bull]] changed our surname (in 1803), different family members have spelled the name as Randal (the original), Randol, Randle and Randall. This was largely because, during the 1700's & 1800s, if a word "sounded" the same, then the spelling was not considered important. \\
+Our family originates in Great Britain... with [[Thomas_Bull_Sr|Thomas Bull, Sr]].

+The Coat of Arms shown in the upper left corner of this site is NOT necessarily from our ancestral line of “Bulls”. There are several Bull families. The Coat of Arms used was one that I personally found most aesthetically pleasing.</WRAP>

+===== Maternal Lines =====
+Because this site is focused on the Bull-Randall family paternal line, the "Navigation" (sidebar) is limited to listing direct family members. Adding the maternal lines would become quite lengthy. However, some maternal lines may be included in this Wiki (linked from the paternal ancestor - or located through the "[[http://bull-randall.com/doku.php?id=start&do=index|Sitemap]]").  There is a great deal of information available elsewhere on the family lines who kept the Bull surname.
