I want to thank the list for thier many recomendations of books. I would like to add a book to the list: "Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania 1682-1750" by Albert Cook Myers FHC Reel No 1036555. I now have that book on indefinate loan at the FHC. Will be glad to do any look ups from that book, it includes Monthly Meeting Minutes from Ireland. I can not guarentee the timelyness of my replies however. Question Linda: I see the Geographical location called Ulster mentioned in this group quite often. While researching the Hollingsworths for another member of this list I came across this: Henry Hollingsworth b: 1600 Armagn, Ireland (Ulster Plantation) Is this part of what you people are talking about? What is Ulster, where is it located? (I told you I was pretty ignorant about Ireland!) Lastly for anybody researching the Hollingsworth family in general, and the Valentine Hollingsworth family in particular you can click on the link below then click on Quaker Index from the Main Index you will find parts of the The Hollingsworth Register by John V. Hollingsworth. There is a lot of great information on the family there. Don't worry if you hit a link and find no page there, I am still working on that section!

There's a number of other published books. You need to of course read them (not just do name lookups) if you want to understand Quakerism in Ireland. > > Also in my experience tracing Quakers, do not assume there was a huge wall between PA and MD. In fact the boundary was unclear until Mason and Dixon. Check both places. > > The definitive work on Ireland is Falley "Irish and Scotch Irish Ancestral History". This 2 vol work is in most libraries. It has a whole chapter on Irish Quakers and their records. > > You can also find information in books like Ryan "Irish Records". > > I told you privately where Irish Quaker records are kept, the index to them, and where to get them in the USA. If anyone else wants this info, email me. I'll post to the list and hope someone can add to it. (I already have posted it to the list but who searches the archives? I sure don't!!) > > Best of luck! > > Linda Merle > > ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > From: "Forrest Plumstead" <fplum1@gmail.com> > Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2005 16:10:15 -0500 > > >>I confess that I know very little about Ireland.
