The Phyllis J. Hughes Hull/Holl/Hohl genealogical collection is a One-Name Study (ONS). An ONS is a project researching all occurrences of a surname and concentrates on aspects such as geographical distribution of the name and the changes in that distribution over the centuries. The study may also attempt to reconstruct the genealogy of the lines bearing the surname. A frequent goal is to identify a single place of origin for the name, especially if the name appears to derive from a place name. The objective of a one-name study is to research the genealogy and family history of all persons with a given surname and its variants.

Collection contains more than 711 volumes documenting the Hull/Holl/Hohl family surname. Documents in the collection are copies of genealogical records, such as land and probate records, biographies, vital records, court records, correspondence, journals, bible records, and military records. The volumes form an index arranged along the following: geographic location, immigration, military, and profession. A spreadsheet indexing the title of all volumes is available.
