Linda, what is "Scoth-Irish" by Hanna, and is it possible to have access to it? I am researching the "Hopkins" surname, they were Catholic and I believe they came from the northern Ireland area. Alice Gillihan As a check of "Scotch-Irish" by Hanna -- the records of the undertakers of the Ulster plantation makes clear, there were Beatties in the Cavan Plantation who were Irish Catholics. > > .

The July issue of "The Ulster-Scot" is available on the Ulster-Scots Agency website. There is a good article on the family history of *Margaret 'Peggy' Brown.* http://ulsterscotsagency.com/ulsterscotjuly2005.asp regards, Alan Ulster-Scots Online http://www.ulster-scots.co.uk -- Faugh A Ballagh Lámh Dhearg Abú *Tha Hamely Tongue:-* Houl yer whist - keep quiet / don`t butt in Ye hallion - you tearaway Skreigh o day - crack of dawn / day Scundered - fed up <http://fta.firetrust.com/index.cgi?id=7520&page=1>
