Good morning, I received the following info from the McINTYRE mailing-list. I thought it would be of great interest to these doing Scotch-Irish Research! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ------------------------------------------------------ This article from the Irish Ancestors section of the Irish Times newspaper online (www.ireland.com) describes the work of the Scotch-Irish Foundation, which may be of help to list members researching MacIntyres with roots in Ulster. Best regards, PK Murphy, in Toronto ** This article was originally published in The Irish At Home and Abroad journal of Irish genealogy and heritage (volume 2 #1, 1994/1995). Published four times yearly. Colonial Scots-Irish Immigrants: Scotch-Irish Foundation By Kyle J. Betit The Scotch-Irish Foundation (PO Box 181, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010) was established as a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation in 1949, specifically to collect records relating to the Scots-Irish and to preserve their history. They collect published books, family histories, letters, journals, and other records relating to Scots- Irish immigration and settlement in America. Upon entrance, each member contributes a "Family Registration" form detailing information on his or her Scots-Irish ancestors. Membership in the foundation costs $10.00, after which there are no annual dues. The Scotch-Irish Foundation's collections (including the family registrations) are housed at The Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies (18 South 7th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106) where they are available to the public for research. Books in the foundation's collections can also be borrowed through inter-library loan at a public library. Neither the foundation nor the Balch Institute conducts research in response to genealogical queries. The foundation published a catalog, Library and Archives of the Scotch-Irish Foundation (1991), which includes bibliographies of their collections (available for $10.00). At the back of the catalog are listed the "first authentic Scotch-Irish ancestor in America" from the family registrations filed with the foundation. ---------------------------------------------------
