A History of the Scots-Irish and their effect on the cultural development in America was the subject of a talk given by Mary Grota on March 26th.  She told of a large number of Scots immigrating to northern Ireland where they lived for a century or so before then leaving for America.  The Scots-Irish were almost totally Scottish as when they lived in Ireland they tended to not inter-marry with the Irish Catholics.
