Scotch-Irish Ancestry: My Family Roots
Millions of Americans with Scottish surnames are actually Scotch-Irish descendants of poor Scottish farmers given an opportunity, starting in 1610, to cultivate small parcels of land in Northern Ireland captured by the eviction of native Irish people from ancient family farms.The Irish were sent to remote reservations.
