Hi I'm really, really new to this list. My gr-gr-gr-grandfather from Ireland married a lady from Scotland. I'm not sure if they married in Europe or in America (November, 1789). Anyway, how can you tell if someone is Scots-Irish or the other way around or does it matter? Thanks from the newbie here! Marian On Fri, 7 Jun 2002 09:55:17 EDT Huguenaute@aol.com writes: > 1.
