We are the ultimate mongrel race. Scotland had all kinds of
interesting settlements before the seventeenth Century, and then when
we came to Ireland we had another bunch to breed with.

Add in the various continental refuges - Huguenots, Moravians,
Hussites, and God knows what else.

Then destroy many of the records, and get the people to be so scared
to digging up black sheep that the older generation shy away from
talking about their ancestors.
That makes Genealogy almost impossible, but we try it.
