Lots of Irish were more Scots and many Scots were more English. Highlanders had different loyalty, often to their clan before the King, than lowlanders. Throw in the mix of religion and it gets more complicated. Good luck sorting out the family tree. Roots are always harder to uncover than branches.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-38885717161470080112017-03-19T01:59:40.798-04:002017-03-19T01:59:40.798-04:00I think my husband's American ancestors were a...I think my husband's American ancestors were also originally Scotch- Irish, although another descendant is adamant that they were purely Irish. She doesn't like ro think that they were originally Scottish , but so far we haven't found any conclusion ve evidence either way.Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-5990771080003401722017-03-18T18:07:43.636-04:002017-03-18T18:07:43.636-04:00I do like the McCord tartan with the combination ...I do like the McCord tartan with the combination of blue and red.

Poor folks. They came there hoping to escape the hardships 'back home' and found themselves hard-pressed to stay out of the conflict brewing in their new country! Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series, when Jamie and Clair escape to America, go into this quite thoroughly in a very engrossing and interesting way.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-68365138922399724442017-03-18T13:59:19.774-04:002017-03-18T13:59:19.774-04:00Celtic Lassies Rule!
