is there any info on the plantation of ireland where protestants from the lowlands of Scotland in the 17th Century were "relocated" to Northern Ireland to bump up the numbers.
Family history has it that we were thieves neerdo wells in the Stewartry area and were given the choice of staying in prison or going to Ulster. Our nearest town was Newtownstewart.

Re: Plantation of Ireland
Don't know about your personal history but Scotland's People website is a great starting place and the over to Parish Records of Ulster. As a Kennedy, very checkered past - something about men of the cloth that brings the worst out in us, the history of that period is facisinating and well worth investigating - it won't be all bad. Most Scots, my history investigations have revealed, brought more than they broke down. We have occassion to be betrayed by greed and power but generally dont' treat beat as less than human. Good luck with your search.
