	Irish Ancestors /Genealogical Office Registered Pedigrees
		Partly as a result of difficulties concerning the status of lords who had supported James II, from 1698 one of the duties of Ulster became the keeping of an official list of Irish peers, Ulster's Roll.
		It is particularly important for the collection of 18th century pedigrees of Irish émigrés to France, produced in response to their need to prove membership of the nobility; admission to such a position carried very substantial privileges, and the proofs required included the signature of Ulster.
		In theory, all of those entitled to sit in the Irish House of Lords, whether by creation of a new peerage, or by succession, were obliged to inform Ulster before they could be officially introduced to the House.

	The Scots-Irish
		Ulster Presbyterianism was strongly influenced by the conjunction of basic tenets of Calvinism, such as the abstruse theological concept of predestination and the concept of a covenant between God and his chosen people.
		The most intense migration from Ulster took place after the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 until the famine in the late 1840s, when it is estimated that half a million emigrated from Ulster to America.
		Their experience in Ulster may have helped nurture these characteristics, but the American frontier was quite different, and development of such characteristics was, quite simply, essential to survival.

		To maintain the unity of Irish rugby and the linkages between North and South the IRFU purchased a new ground in 1923 in the Ravenhill district of Belfast at a cost of £2300.00.

	III. THE MCCORDS AND THE SCOTCH-IRISH

		Most of the McCords who went through Northern Ireland or Ulster as it was called were in transit from Scotland, and were in Ulster for a few brief years and then on to America and religious and political freedom.

		The native Irish, who had been dispossessed in Ulster and elsewhere, made use of the English situation to regain their possessions.
		Elizabeth I at first followed her father's policy of conciliating the Irish chieftains, but the rebellion of the Ulster chieftain Shane O'Neill caused her policy to become more severe; an act was passed dividing all Ireland into counties, and the commissioners of justice were invested with military powers, which they used in arbitrary fashion.
		Irish civilization was heavily impacted by the incursions of the Scandinavians, which began towards the close of the 8th century and continued for more than two centuries.

	Hiberno-English -
		The type of English spoken in Ireland is founded in the types of English and Scots that were brought to Ireland during the English and Scottish Plantations of Ireland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and their change due to the influence of the Irish language on these forms of English.
		The standard spelling and grammar are the same as UK English but, especially in the spoken language, there are some unique characteristics, due to the influence of the Irish language on pronunciation.
		The linguistic interference of the Irish language on the English spoken in Ireland is most clearly seen in those areas where Irish is still spoken as a mother tongue or where it has survived until recently.

	Scots-Irish American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Scots-Irish are descendants of the Ulster Scots immigrants who travelled to North America from Ulster in the late 17th and 18th centuries.
		In Canada, by contrast, Irish Protestants remained a cohesive political force well into the 20th century, identified with the Conservative Party of Canada (historical) and especially with the Orange Institution, although this is less evident in today's politics.
		In Ulster however, considerable numbers of Ulster-Scots migrated to the North American colonies throughout the 18th century (250,000 settled in the USA between 1717 and 1770 alone).

	The Plantation of Ulster The end of Queen Elizabeth
		Ulster unionists accepted the deal while Irish nationalists rejected it and continued their war of independence until a treaty in 1921 created a 26-county Irish Free State which gave it dominion status like Canada.
		The Settlement of Ulster was unique among these Irish plantations because it offered huge parts of its land to colonists of all classes from England, Scotland and Wales.
		After a long and damaging campaign, Ulster was eventually brought under English control and the Irish leaders left the island for Europe.

		It is not always possible to identify separately the Irish-language-related element, if any, of funding.

	One Angry Man
		I have nothing against the Ulster Scots language per se, but the academic and linguistic value of the language is being damaged by using it as the anti-Irish.
		I have some similar feelings towards the Ulster-Scots language, especially when some people like John Laird seem to feel that it must be seen as the mirror image to Irish.
		Amongst the clamour to promote a language such as Irish people somehow forget that it is useful for nothing except for someone who wants to be an Irish teacher.
