Scotch-Irish Reading List and Research References
The en masse migration of emigrants departing from the nine counties of Ulster Province, mostly between 1718 to 1760 were mostly protestant Presbyterians and the group became known in America as the Scotch-Irish. From the Irish perspective the group was referred to as Ulster Scots because of their participation in the Plantation of Ulster, commencing in 1609 and continuing to the late 1600s. The following is a reading list and reference bibliography of genealogical and historical accounts of the Scotch-Irish in America. All are available on-line at the reference link, either for download as a PDF file or for on-line viewing.
