Hi folk, Perhaps we can help one another by suggesting books, etc, to read for Christmas that can help us understand our ancestors. In the USA one is Hanna "The Scotch-Irish". THis book is in most libraries and on CD. Parts are very dated but parts are excellent. It includes primary material from the settlement of Ulster so you can read this and form your own opinions. It also has lists of all known Scotch Irish settlements in colonial America and their ministers, etc. It's on line at Ancestry. Maybe for free !! (Check "Scots-Irish"). another one is the social history by Leyburn "The Scotch Irish". THis book is more more modern. It's chuck full of good info. An excellent american reference book is "The Source". The definitive work on Irish and Scotch Irish genealogy is Falley "Irish and Scotch-Irish Ancestral Research". There is Ryan "Irish Records". Billy Kennedy's books are very good, such as "Faith and Freedom: The Scots-Irish in America". You can find these at www.amazon.com, www.genealogical.com, and www.ancestry.com . And 2nd hand book shops! Try www.froogle.com . ANyone else have suggestions?? Linda Merle ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.fea.net

Linda you say about Hanna "It also has lists of all known Scotch Irish settlements in colonial America and their ministers, etc." What about known Scots-Irish settlements in Canada. Any ideas of how to learn about those?
