Here are a few other sites and articles which were prepared by Brian McConnell on aspects of Ulster Scots that may interest some: Canada's Ulster Scots http://canadasulsterscots.tripod.com/page1.html Ulster Scots in Canada http://www.electricscotland.com/ssf/ScotNewsletters/Nov2001/Page5.pdf The Ulster Scots Come To Canada http://members.aol.com/manus2/ulsterto.html The Campbells from County Cavan http://www.orangenet.org/campbell.htm Brian had ancestors from Ireland who were members of the Orange Order and also Ulster Scots, and some others who were not. Thus his interest in researching both sides. He was the founder of several Rootsweb lists beginning with the Irish Canadian Mailing List which he attempted (unsuccessfully ) to make open to both traditions, Protestant and RC. He later started up the Canada Orange Mailing List in 1998, and the Canada's Ulster Scots mailing List. This was all PRIOR to leaving this List. As the Archives of this list show, he even filled in more than once as list administrator for this list for Linda, at her request when she was away. That was before he mentioned the unmentionable words on this List "Orange Order" and tried to discuss the undiscussable on this List "Orangeism." He just returned from a family holiday in Ireland where he viewed impressive old Methodist church buildings in both Kinsale, County Cork and Killarney, County Kerry which echo some of the recent discussions. There certainly were significant Protestant communities in dfferent parts of Ireland and many of their members moved to Canada and the USA. An interesting visit if you are in the west of Ireland and have the time is King John's Castle in Limerick which includes an audio visual presentation on the history of Ireland that describes the role played by both communities. Afterwards, nearby is the Limerick Museum where you can view antiquities including old Masonic memorabalia worn in the city by Lodges formerly active there. Brian McConnell (aka "guidbillie " .
