Are Ulster Irish settlers in the colonial times the asme as Scots-Irish settlers? Where can I find more information on this? Thanks

The two are almost definitely the same. Many of the Presbyterian settlers who took part in the plantation of Ulster in Ireland came originally from Scotland, whereupon many moved on to America. \n\nI have a link for the Ulster American museum in Northern Ireland which may be of use to you. If you call the museum they may be able to help you with further references etc. There are also similar emigration museums in North America and Australia which might be helpful also.

Well as a descendant of a Scot, I now some of the history. Now, granted that was a long time ago. Just like native Mexicans shouldn't really be mad at Spain and Blacks against whites for the slave thing. I mean, it isn't happening now in other words. You CAN be mad at the people who did it, but they're dead now. I'm not to happy with Mary Queen of Scots for kicking out my clan many years ago. We were reinstated in the counsel in the early 1900s so it's over now.\nIn England, just about everyone who supports a team has hooligans for that team. It's not just the Scots.

A lot of UK immigrants came to Canada around the late 1800's early 1900's becouse of industrilization. Peasants were driven from their homes so sheep could roam the countryside for textiles, famine was wide spread and Canada and America were the New World. People were promised land and a new start  some worked on vessels for their passage. Many died on the way over. When they came to the New World they found a very new and wild country and they had to do whatever jobs were available a lot became boat builders or lumberers or worked for the railways then they begin to homestead westward. Excellent referance can be found at Halifaxs Pier 21 or the National Archives in Ottawa. If you know where your Great grandfathered entered the country you can go to the archives there or web search and they will have some records. Good Luck

I was born on an iceberg off the coast of Antarctica. I'm of Irish decent from the line of Donegal but if traced back to the pre conquest of that area I'm of Scandinavian ancestry ( there were not any blond Irish before we showed up ) and I was raised in Canada. I'm six foot three inches at two hundred and ten pounds with blue eyes and short sandy to blond hair and I'm so white I'm actually Irish pink. God help me if I get caught in the Sun; I burst into flames! Nice to meet You, I hope You have a happy thanksgiving.

I'm English and have many Irish friends/colleagues. I apologise for my fellow English persons bad manners, they were probably jealous that you come from such a beautiful country. Don't let it colour your feelings, you're more than welcome to visit any time you like.

The Irish were always discriminated in America, next to the Chinese the Irish were scorned for doing what most mexicans are doing today (taking low paying jobs, and doing it so widedspread that it lowers the average pay for non-mexican workers who do the same job).....The Irish weren't bad, in fact we owe so much to them for their job in the Civil War, however they were treated poorly....\n\nFor chrissakes you have St. Pattie's day, the only reason we don't like you is...YOUR CATHOLIC, EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY HATED CATHOLICS

Since in 1763 there was no talk yet of breaking from British rule, it kind of narrows the field.\n\n1. How do you feel about the Act of Toleration implemented in Maryland & do you feel such an act would ever be needed in Massachusetts given that this colony was established for the purposes of religious freedom?\n\n2. When the house of Burgess raised the price of tobacco and England responded by raising the prices of goods coming to the colonies, do you feel the merchants in England were taking advanctage of the situation?\n\n3. How have things changed since Massachusetts Bay Colony entered the New England Confederation?\n\n4. Nearly 30 years ago the population after the Great Migration has gone from 250,000 in the colonies to now almost double that. How has this effected the economy in Massachusetts?\n\n5. With the growing numbers of Germans, Scots-Irish, and other Europeans immigrating to the colonies, do you feel this is threatening the Puritan communities in Massachusetts?\n\n6. This year, 1763, parliament issued the Proclamation of 1763. I have heard that many of the colonist that fought in the French and Indian Wars feel this proclamation is unjust because they are not allowed to settle west of the Appalacian Mountains. Do you think parliament will repeal this act if pressured?

There were Loyalists in the American Revolution, maybe 20% of the population. The British also tried to recruit the Indians during the war and turn them against the Americans. That's the only thing that would suggest there was any kind of civil war during the revolution. More detail on this website...

You might try here. There is a link about searching home histories, but it apparently is focused on the historic.\n\nhttp://www.essexcc.gov.uk/vip8/ecc/ECCWebsite/dis/faq.jsp?channelOid=13813&guideOid=14788&oid=17353

Actually, St Patrick wasn't even Irish.  He was brought there as a slave and when he was freed, he stayed to convert the people.

Actually, virtually every immigrant to the US, from the original settlers on, LEFT their country because they didn't like it.  To say this country was founded on a belief contrary to "Love it or Leave it" is completely inaccurate.\n\nPersonally, I think the incessant whining about the country, it's government, and it's world policies is inane and ponderous.  It begs the question of why don't these people have the balls to go somewhere else like every other immigrant into this country has done.\n\nThe answer is obvious.  These malcontents don't have the courage, skill, fortitude, or foresight to seek out, much less actually relocate to a place which would make them happier.  They are resolved to simply stay here and b*tch simply because they lack those attributes.\n\nIn answer to your additional comment directed at me- \n\nActually - a significant number of our "founding fathers", including the entire state of New York, were willing to appease England.  In another example, as late as 1780, the entire opposition during the battle of Kings Mountain were Americans with the exception of 1 British officer.  \n\nIn the long eye of history, all of these people have simply riden on the coat tales of those who were willing to fight for liberty.  \n\nMany of the comments of the left today would be considered examples of nothing but cowardice at best and teasonous by many of our true founding fathers.

Any supposed line of descendants of Jesus (such as "who fathered three children") is to be considered not credible.\n\nAs for the origins of the "first people of Ireland" ...perhaps some associate them with the ideas of the British-Israelites. Or you might consider http://www.irelandseye.com/irish/people/settlers/prehist1.shtm which, of course, includes evolutionist-type dating.\n\nThere is another legend which some believe, of David's descendants being connected with British Royalty. British-Israelism or similar named groups. Some of them believe that the Lost Ten Tribes of the Northern House of Israel’s descendants are to be found in the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic and kindred peoples of today.

"Where did his ancestors come from?" would have been a better way of asking it. I believe he is of Irish decent.

Well I think you mean Western Great Britain.In which case they'd be Scottish\nAs such they would be Loyalists\nAfter the Jacobite Rebellion and the defeat forces loyal to Prince Charles at Culloden Moor.The govt started mass deportation of the highlands to New England\nPossibly also some cavaliers as they were persecuted by Oliver Cromwell and his roundheads\nThese two occurances would invite people to immigrate to the new world for a better life\nNon the less the main influx would be the deportatation of the scots after the Jacobite Rebellion.....So loyalists
