So let's just accept Scots-Irish! My very southern family hid whatever hard liquour they were drinking, so it was probably moonshine! They used the term Scotch-Irish for their ancestry and they knew their history, as it had been traced back to pre 1620 in a village outside Inverness, Scotland, to Lough Swilly, Co. Donegal, Ireland, to America...fortunate to have had an early Presbyterian Minister related, who was sent to establish the religion on the Eastern Shore in MD, VA, etc., so his history was pretty well established in a jillion books and documents! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 11:16 AM Subject: [IRL~ROOTS] Re: Scot or Scotch? <grin> > So is it Scot-Irish or Scotch-Irish? > > Ray > > > Subject: > > > > Re: [IRL~ROOTS] List for Ulster information > > From: > > > > [email protected] > > Date: > > > > Sun, 16 Mar 2003 17:19:25 EST > > To: > > > > [email protected] > > > > > > Hi folks just a tip it may help future searches but Scotch is a drink not a > > nationality and Scot is the nationality. > > > > ==== IRELAND-ROOTS Mailing List ==== > Check out the sister sites to this mailing list at the links shown below: > Boards > Topics > Immigration > United States > Irish immigrants > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=an&p=topics.immigration.us.iri sh > & > Boards > Topics > Ethnic / Race > Irish > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.ethnic.irish > & > Boards > Localities > United Kingdom and Ireland > General > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.britisles.gene ral >
