Thank > you for your time. > There are probably lots on the list with ancestors that go back to Ireland, but we haven't found it yet! :-) I've been reading a book, "Scots-Irish in hills of Tennessee" by Bill Kennedy. If you have early Steel(e)s [mid to late 1700's] that were originally from middle & lower Scotland then they could easily have been in the bunch that migrated to northern Ireland and then later to colonies in America. I haven't found my Irish or Scottish link back across the pond yet, but working on it! Jeri
