Michael, your work has already been advertised on the "Scotch Irish" List on Roots Web, a genealogy organization. You might want to join the list and provide updates to obtain their help in gathering information. The list is big, consisting primarily of Americans searching for their roots in Ireland and Scotland. That's how I was advised of your work. Take a look at the Roots Web site (www.rootsweb.com) for other lists that may interest you. In the meantime, I'll send this message as a "Cc" to the McMurray/McMurry research group to see if anyone would like to participate in your program. Regards, Don -----Original Message----- From: Roe, Micheal [mailto:mroe@spu.edu] Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2001 10:54 AM To: 'Don McMurray' Subject: RE: Scots-Irish study Many thanks Don. I will send a packet of materials within the next two to three weeks. By the way, since we are using a network sampling technique, would you be willing to help us locate Scots-Irish participants in your circles? Any family, friends, and/or acquaintances with Scots-Irish roots who you think would be interested in participating? All the best. Micheal. Mícheál D.

Roe Ph.D. Subject: Scots-Irish study Dear Dr. Roe: I was advised of your research and will be happy to participate in the study. My ancestors were among the earliest Scots to migrate from Scotland to Ulster, probably to County Down, in 1606. This was the first successful "plantation" in Ulster which preceded King James's "Great Plantation of Ulster" in 1611. Please let me know how I can help.
