FYI Some people may not realize there is a difference, but, Scotch is a drink, and the folks from Scotland are Scots. Some Scots might even take it to be an insult to be called a liquor. So many people refer to the Scots-Irish as Scotch-Irish and it really is an improper term. I realize that it is just lack of knowledge of that fact, so I do hope people realize I am just trying to be informative. I do not wish to insult anyone who has used the term Scotch-Irish. I use to say it too when I was a teen, but my grandmother quickly educated me about that. I just recently read an online article about the subject on a Celtic site, that said that it is an insult to Scots to call them Scotch. I have some nice Celtic links and Scottish Clan links on my website if anyone cares to look at it. Take care and happy hunting! from a Welsh, Irish, Scot, English, German, Dutch, American (you know, a mutt!) :-) TTFN, Lynda (THOMAS) CAMPBELL hilanders@jps.net Lynda's Genealogy Homepage http://www.jps.net/hilanders ...And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their fathers...
