Hi Alice, This is a very old, very standard two volume set of books that most likely is in your local library. It is for sale at genealogy.com usually or look for second hand copies in the usual way (www.froogle, etc, etc). It is in www.ancestry.com as 'Scots-Irish'. I do not know if it is free or not. Check yourself. It is on the Scotch-Irish CD #276 sold by genealogy.com that may be in a library near you. As it's over 100 years old, it's likely someone purchased a copy in that time. It is one of the first places you check for families though it is not likely to have yours or mine. It has IMMENSE amounts of history in it. Without reading it and other things you ain't gonna get too far in Ulster. It has the locations of all early Presbyterian congregations in America for example. This is useful when you are researching congregations, which you must do. You can read our webpages for more suggestions: http://homepages.rootswb.com/~merle Why not tell the list what you know about them. It's important to tell us where they 'landed' after emigrating. Maybe you can find a connection here. Best of luck!
