This post doesn't seem to have made it through so I will send it again. I apologize to the listers for not knowing what would happen to the information I sent.

I didn't realize that forwarding that newsletter from the Ulster Amercian Society would come through that way. It was a big mess and seems to have shown the parts I wasn't interested in and skipped the good stuff. I see now that I should have forwarded it to you and let you pick out the useful parts, if you wanted to. Or I should have just posted the interesting pieces about where Ulster Heritage Foundation's spring genealogy tour would be taking them. That part doesn't seem to have come through at all and I think it is of general interest to people on this list. I attended it last year when they came to Seattle and it was well worth my time and that of our Irish genealogy group members who also attended. Irish and Scots-Irish genealogy lecture tour The Ulster Historical Foundation announced their Irish and Scots Irish genealogy lecture tour for March 2010: * Philadelphia, PA -- Saturday, March 13th * Lancaster, PA -- Sunday, March 14th * Raleigh, NC -- Monday, March 15th * Naples (Ave Maria University), FL -- Tuesday, March 16th * Lincoln, NE -- Wednesday, March 17th * Bethpage (Long Island), NY -- Saturday March 20th * * Information at: _http://www.ancestryireland.com/index.php?id=1027&backPID=1008&tt_news=61_ (http://www.ancestryireland.com/index.php?id=1027&backPID=1008&tt_news=61) I also enjoyed watching those "A Dander with Drennan" videos that were linked in the newsletter, especially when he talked to people about the Ulster Scots dialect and about how closely linked the Ulster people were with the Galloway folks just a short boat ride across the water. Although maybe that belongs on a "culture" list. I apologize, and promised to not make THAT mistake again. Ann
