About us
In April 2014, Barry McCain started this project. He also started the Ulster Heritage Project at FTDNA.
The majority of the Scots-Irish are of Ulster Scots ancestry. Generally speaking there were three migrations of Scots into Ulster; these are 1)Scottish Lowland settlers to Ulster during the Plantation of Ulster (1610-1700), 2) Highland Scots that migrated to northern Ireland in the 1500s, and 3) Gallóglaigh Scots that migrated to Ireland circa 1300 to 1400.
The surnames of the Scots being resettled in Ulster can be found in this Wikipedia item https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_names_in_Ulster Are you one of them?
