Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You are Scot-Irish its a American term they are not called that in Britian they are the Ulster Scots they started to call them selves Scots-Irish to make a difference between them and the later Irish immigrants that came later on to America. Ulster Scots are differents now researching them is slow but worth it that my fathers family they are mostly protestant and usually Presbyterians from the Ayrshire and Argyll districts of Scotland. Parish records in Scotland is what I have focused on and also the Covenanters lists they also had to pay a certian tax for there faith. Now here in America to research Scot-Irish blood use Land grants,Probates and Baptisms records,and sometime Military records usually Militia. Until you can locate these records it will be extremely hard to make the connection over seas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/covenanters... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/scots-irish... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ulster-scot...
