Hulse family Genealogist started with a newsletter By Granvyl Hulse. When the Web became available Brian Hulse helped Granvyl to move the research to the Website WWW.Hulsenet.net  A lot of information from many family members is available at that website.

The Hulse-Hulsaert project includes the Surnames of Hulse, Hulsaert and spelling variations like Hulce, Huls, Hults, Hultz, Hulst,  Holsart. Both Haplogroup R1b, I1, and I2 are represented with this surname. 

A goal of this project is to help sort out the relationships of the 10 known immigrant clans and over 100 Family units who have not been identified as belonging to a Clan of a known immigrant, thru the use of DNA testing..

 A Justice of the peace,  who wrote a weekly newspaper colume in New Jersey, later collected in a book, wrote that he had a case where a Hulseart wanted to change his name to Hulse. He stated that he believed that most Hulse in New Jersey had origionally been Hulsaert. 

Led astray by that book  three Hulse groups were placed in Clan D with Hulsaert descendants. This group started at Ancestry to see if DNA could show where these family member should be placed. Some of the tests were transfered to FTDNA when Ancestry stopped Y-DNA testing.

We finaly had a Hulsaert who tested and was in Haplogroup R1a. The Clan RD descendants of Richard Hulse and Mary Williams were in Haplogroup I1 and were closely related to the Clan R descendants also in Haplogroup I1. Those three groups were moved from Clan D to Clan's RD, TD, and ED. 

The testing has shown that the Hulsaert Holsaert line is not related to any of the Hulse imigrants. We also see that the Hulsey line is haplogroup R and not related to the Hulse line.
