Subject: [DNA-R1B1C7] Ulster Scot or native Irish
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 13:40:31 EST

My Dill ancestors were Ulster Scots in County Donegal. I believe that they
originally came from Scotland, but I wish I had more evidence about their
Scottish origin. I do not know much about the history of the Ulster Plantation,
but I suspect that it was not easy to be native Irish in the early days of
the Ulster Plantation. Perhaps some of the native Irish felt abandoned after
the 'flight of the earls'. 'The Undertakers were under pressure to have
Scottish or English tenants, but the original plan did not work, so they were
later allowed to also have Irish tenants. I have wondered if there were native
Irish who took a Scottish name, and changed their identity to appear to be an
Ulster Scot.
