Where are the Draghada names?

Awesome, but the sleuthing at the end is so fast that I don't get how I could do something like that myself.

Two other good books about the Scots-Irish is “Cracker Culture” by Dr. Grady McWhiney -University of Alabama Press and Dr Terry Jordan’s “Trails to Texas: Southern Roots of the Western Ranching Industry - University of Oklahoma Press. Both are more southern oriented. To many writers on Scots-Irish settlement in America focus on the Philadelphia- Great Wagon Road route, but many, including all of mine, came into America at Charleston, SC and Savanah, GA and spread west through the pineywoods as cattle herders. William Bartram in his book “Travels” writes about his encounters with the Scots Irish cattle herders spreading the “Carolina Culture” of subsistence farming, hunting and herding into the Carolina backcountry and into Georgia just before and right at the start of the revolutionary war.

Scotch is not used to refer to people it is used to refer to an object that is Scottish. It is insulting to refer to Scottish people as Scotch. Please refrain from using this term. You can say Scottish but not Scotch. Scotch whisky, Scotch broth or Scotch tape! Scottish people please! If you refuse to use these terms appropriately in Scotland, or anywhere else in Britain, you will be insulting people, some of whom may be your distant DNA relatives! It's all about respecting what Scottish people themselves find acceptable.

I just came across your channel. Fascinating & useful stuff. But the "background" music at a similar volume to your voice is incredibly distracting & totally unnecessary! I'm subscribing anyway, I'll see how many I can get through as is. But I strongly suggest you consider reducing the music volume by half, if you must have it at all. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us!

This is interesting. Thanks for teaching me more about my ancestors, may they all rest in peace. 🕊

Got an SAR supplemental in on the Julia Minser line, and a descendant of valley forge!

YUGOSLAV Dr Eugenecist/Politician Branimir Nestorović claims green eyed people are aliens. Celts have been marked as undersirable and unsalvagable by communist doctrine. To this day systemic discrimination and genocide is being waged againt them in the eastern block. This is done seemingly in conglamiration with some english racists. In serbia anglo irish citizen Anthony Smurfit had a toxic paper mill on the Celtic settlement of Karaburma and rospi cuprija. Same goes for the coal mine in kostolac. Same goes for Udmurtia in Russia. Silent genocide. A hitler style eugenics plan is ran by folklore groups in the Eastern block that works hard to mark undesirables

Our immigrant ancestors were recorded at Ellis with TWENTY SIX different spellings. How could BELL be confused in hearing and spelling

This is an eye opener. I'm of Scotts-Irish (Ulster) descent and have moved home 23 times. Always travelled light.

I randomly looked this up as my family has always told me I'm scotch-irish. They came over and STAYED in North Carolina. They're still there. 😅 but I'm in Georgia.

It's Scots! Not Scotch.

Hi from Ulster. I'm from County Down. Thanks for your video, it was very informative. My kin left Scotland, came here to Ulster, decided to try across the great pond and went from Maryland to Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina then ended up back here in N Ireland. Half the family remained so I have plenty of cousins over there in the States. Both of my parents had ancestors who followed this path. Our DNA came back we are from the early settlers which made sense from what we knew. Ours were surveyors, engineers, stone masons and preachers.

My family’s name was changed. Their last name was Laptev and was changed to Laptew

And what is a Scot? The Scots were originally a Tribe of Gaelic Irish speaking people of Ireland who invaded the northern part of Britain, defeated the Britons, fought the Picts for a couple of centuries and finally merged with them, and thus "Scotland" was created. So you all are Irish, sort of. Sorry! Scot is latin for Irish Scotia Scots Gaelic is known as Erse Phonetic for Irish Whiskey is Irish even the very word. What you think you know about Scotland is more a Hanoverian Victorian invention including the BS family kilts.

I was a Walsh before I married a Smith and I was told some of our family came from County Cork. I was raised Catholic, my dad’s mother had a English father who married a Catholic girl. And she married a man named Walsh who was from a Catholic father who married a Protestant girl. They all raised their children Catholic and it worked out that my dad was a 50/50 Irish and English ancestry. My mom only knew of French and Swedish blood and when she married my Catholic father she joined the church and they raised their children Catholic. I married a man who mother was full blood French Catholic whose parents immigrated from the French Canadian people to America and they were Catholic and his father had German blood and I don’t know what other ancestry and they we’re Wesleyan Methodist and his family was very angry that he married a Catholic and his mother said because he did that that she was going to hell and in fact all 3 other children married Catholics who raised their children Catholic. We all worship Jesus and I think it is up to Him who goes to Heaven. I’m not going to condemn anybody religion it is a personal choice. But I do find it interesting how people spread out and intermarry. I was named Patricia.

Thanks for posting. Your migration description mirrors that of my ancestors from Virginia to West Virginia, to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois between the 1700s and the mid-1850s,

Scots-Irish from North Carolina.

My paternal grandmother was born in Tulla in county Clare. Her maiden name was a Maloney. There are some O'Neill's in that part of the family tree. A number of ancestors from Tulla ended up in New Zealand.

Dear Scots and other Europeans in the comments. We Americans have always said Scotch-Irish. We understand you use terms such as Scot, Ulster Scot, and Planters. However we have used Scotch-Irish since we arrived here. We’re not wrong because we’re descendants living in a different country. We simply have a different culture and do things differently.

Catharine O'Neill was my great, great Grandma who was married to my great, great Grandpa Michael O'Swords -- both from Ireland. They both came to Welland, Ontario, Canada in the 1800 century. Nice to met you Mike O'Neill. Danny Weasner from Welland, Ontario, Canada. My x-girlfriend was named Betty Ann Byrne, and my Daughter by her is Bri. Weasner. Betty Ann Byrne was of Ojibway and Irish descent..

Dillon

My neighbour could not see his surname in the cover photo. Although it is the same as the famous Dublin tea.

Hi, I was wondering if you happen to know how to pronounce Kilgareth? It was my family member's maiden name when she came to the US during the Famine according to like a wedding document or something out here. She seems to have changed it to Garvey later on and I just looked at origins of that name and somehow its from Gairbheith, which makes sense for the "gareth" part of Kilgareth, but now I'm just more confused. Do you know how to pronounce Gairbheith? Wish I could find records prior to them coming over (her husband was Adams, but if even this was transliterated then even records in Ireland or ships manifests could be way different). Now that I have the Gairbheith I can try a ships manifest thing with that, because the other one never worked out. They got married out here and as far as I know didn't travel together (if I found the correct Adams).

Yup d byrnes

I am in Australia and my grandmother's maiden name on my Mum's side of the family tree is Ryan and her father Michael Ryan in the 1800s was born in Ireland. When I wondered how he got out here I did an initial search for passenger lists of ships that came out here and saw so many Michael Ryan's it was like looking for a needle in haystack so dead end. Do not even know what exact year he came out here so no chance of making headway. There is other surnames on my father's side of family tree with surnames like Collins and Kennedy too, so quickly would learn it hard to go back to ancestors in Ireland in past to learn more. All I know is about three quarters of my ancestors come from Ireland and I know of one ancestor that came out here in the mid 1840s from Scotland so that the only ancestor from overseas where can go a little further back in census records in Scotland.

Its scotch British... not Irish...got it...the real IRISH have no connection with the Scottish immigrants from Britain...the British burned down the white house but a Irish Catholic named James hoban from co Kilkenny Ireland designed and built the white house in 1792 the Scottish from Britain burned down the white house in 1814 ...got it.

never ever call a scotsman or scots irish scotch.............never............scotch is a drink of whisky and nothing to do with the people s heritage

Ahaha this is so me 65+ scot lol

We have document of a story of our ancestors family moving 3 times- vit- Tenn- and in it they stated their father, with so many daughters, did not want them to marry the surrounding small area, looked for a better place to move them.

Уезжали, потому что англичане задолбали.

From my ancestors, families didn't move in a "community" type of affair. It was much more intimate than that. They moved in a traditional Scottish Clan way. A clan was several different families who had intermarried and were all at least distantly related. For my family it was the Meeks and Hopper families, first found just west of the Virginia "Fall Line," in 1725, in Allen's Creek. Over the next 120 years or so, they moved together until finally reaching the Tiplersville Ms. Area. I returned there from Texas, where my offshoot of the clan had moved in the 1850s or early 1860s, and found the Meeks' and Hoppers still living side by side and intermarrying. After 150 years they welcomed me as a long removed relative, and treated me like family. Moving to a new place back then was a dangerous affair. There was no law or protection, so about the only way to survive was to have a readymade community, able to spring up in only a few weeks with deep trust and strong familial bonds to thrive.

My mother's line were all Scots-Irish...They moved every generation or so from coastal Georgia inland until they reached Memphis.

My Family has a plethora of John, James, Mary and Margaret's seems every McMullan sibling used these same names for centuries

Nitrogen is the reason "The grass is greener on the other side."

My grandmother got married at the age of 14 in the year 1914. She and my grandfather eloped and crossed the state line into Maryland to get married. And yes, Maryland law at the time said that a person had to be 18 to get married. My grandmother lied about her age when they went to get the marriage license. My grandfather was 23 when they got married. Can you imagine what they would've done to him had he tried that today? It literally would have been a federal case because he transported an underage girl across state lines. There's one factual mistake in this video. The founding of the Jehovah's Witnesses had nothing to do with New York's burned-over district. The JW's were founded much later--in the 1870's--in Pittsburgh.

_Albion's Seed_ is the great masterwork on this subject--but I'm happy to see Mike make a mention of Earl Core's _Monongalia Story._ Earl Core was a biologist at West Virginia University, yet he's the one who wrote the definitive history of Monongalia County, WV. When I was a boy scout, Dr. Core would occasionally come to my troop's meetings to give talks about the local plant life.

Mike , I believe we have played genealogical ping pong on ancestry with the Schlauch/ Slough family. I'm a Slough descendant, for the record a Slough cousin was recently accepted into the Sons of the American Revolution through Bernard Slough (1757-1823) s/o Johann Jacob, g/s of Ernst Bernard. Northampton and Cumberland/Perry Co., Pa., this my line also. I'll email your website

I wonder what the percentage was of children in guardianships marrying young to get out.

I'm always cleaning up my tree.

Can I say this louder? No. Hell to the yeah! FAN club needs to be a regular thing.

Excellent topic. Another channel said they were horrified at a female marrying at 13. I suspect she was a second wife. It's rare that a female marries so young back then.

My surname before marriage is Hogan . Do you know much about that name ?

What an interesting video! I’m curious as to what map source you’re using here… the ability to toggle between surnames is so cool and I would love to try it out if it’s available online. Thanks so much!

My Dad’s name was Klaus Magnus Staeben born Latvia, as Baltic German. What can you tell me about the name Staeben. (Stáben)

I have a question: why are Scot British people called Scot Irish I stead of Scottish or Irish? Or half Scottish half Irish? Also Ty for this video, I am curious about the Scot Irish people and culture and this video was awesome :)
