    3. Hi Lee, Thanks for the offer and I am sure you will get lots of requests. However those were posted to this list several years ago and are in the archives along with a lot of other very useful extracts. To go to the archives, go to www.rootsweb.com, then click on Interactive Search under Mailing Lists. Takes you here: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Type in Scotch-Irish" and click on Submit Query. Then search. Folks who have not checked the archives of this list are missing out big time. They include extracts from various AP (Associated Presbyterian) mags made by a now deceased list member. She gave us her legacy. Extracts of material not under international copyright always appreciated (We're an international list).

Antrim during the 1600s. The list is presented in alphabetical order, so I can do look ups within a reasonable time frame. Also be aware that the vast majority of these tenants are among the more educated and well established folks, i.e., lawyers, gentlemen, yeoman, clerks, ministers, etc. Also, please be aware that these surviving leases do not provide a complete record of those who held land from the Earls of Antrim. > >Lee Ramsey > > > > ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.fea.net
