Some time ago after a discussion on the Scotch-Irish list I decided that I would start a cultural list. Over the past few years the Scotch-Irish list has developed in genealogical terms and in no longer the place where there use to be cosy discussions about the more esoteric features of Scotch-Irish Culture and History. I have also discovered the Irish Scots list which while it is not directly connected to the Scotch-Irish saga, does point the Ulster Scots to that part of the common experience of Irishness which is shared by people from all parts of Ireland, that of being a paddy in Britain. I however believe that it is important to affirm the experience of the Scotch Irish tribe before they left for America, acknowledging that there is still a substantial remnant in Ireland, which while it may or may not have a strong political basis depending who you are talking to. I will be posting definitely on Scotch - Irish, and I hope on Irish-Scots to encourage people, not withstanding the name to come here for discussion about the Scots Irish. What I will be saying will be based on what I have written here, and is simply going to be an invitation for people to come and post.

Edward: You have a sound idea and I am not sure what I could add, but I sure would be questioning. I have books on the Scots-Irish and that is part of my ancestor line. I wish you the best. My McClures came over here as grown men [6] with their father before 1690.
