Hi Jenny. Your Graham ancestor could have come to Ireland as part of the 'planting' of Ireland with Scots and English in the 17th or 18th century, or as one of Cromwell's soldiers. He might have come as part of the effort to establish the linen industry in Ireland. Anita

Thanks Anita - every bit of information helps.

Anita is there a way to know of the planted peoples' surnames or more about that particular bit of history? Thanks, JIM M>
