frogprince | BS: The Term 'Scotch-Irish' (42) | RE: BS: The Term 'Scotch-Irish' | 02 May 19 |
When older members of our family line mentioned our ancestry, my sister and I always heard it as "English, Scotch, Irish, and Dutch"; much more recently, my sister remembered that and noted that the reference may well have started out as "Scotch-Irish". So far as usage in our family, it was oral tradition about our history with no emotional load about religion or politics whatever. |
