Im trying to put together my family history, and no one knows shit because my family never talks about history. My fathers side did come from ireland, but none of he names turn out to be irish. They are Leeper, Wylie, Barker, Reynolds, Murray, and Gillan. They might be Ulster scots but i dont really know. Can anyone lend some help?>
Help a mutt please
sounds like made up negro names
Wylie is definitely scottish, one source says it originates from Loch Lomond area in southern Scotland.
Yeah, thats the only one where i have gotten a definite answer. Problem is that my family is catholic, and i dont remember hearing about catholic scots moving to ireland. But perhaps im mistaken
HWIDER THAN U MOHMAD :DDDD
>WE WUZ IRISH THAT IN TURN WUZ SCOTS N SHIEEET
They are never Dutch. Always Irish.
Scottish Highlanders are Catholics too
Ew, good riddance.
Murray is very Irish
Thanks frenchbro
Big peno r
Most "Irish" people in the US have nothing to do with Ireland. "Scotch-Irish" for instance is a total misnomer, those people have very little to do with Ireland and nothing to do with Scotland at all.

Stop spreading lies, you can easily look up ancestral records on sites like ancestry . com as an American, not everyone is a dirty angl*
Yes, and this thread should be an example of what research does to end myths that people have about this sort of thing. Just take a look at .
If you actually click on those links Ireland is also highlighted on there just not as dark as Scotland/England, so he could still be Irish
Mexican is right, English guy is a retard
Please tell me more about my own country João.
lol did you even click those links ireland is also shaded
You're spreading blatant lies, Ireland is shaded on all of those links, go keep killing innocent babies like Alfie and giving welfare to Pakis
My family took dna tests recently. My father could pass for an arab, but was 98% Irish and Swedish. My mother was a mix of pretty much every Western European country.
Most Irish people in America aren't Irish
Scots and other people from the Britain settled in Ireland over the years.
el goblino ango...
retardo angl*id, not everyone is an inbred fat low iq briton
So youre saying my ancestry might be english?
Many Irish Americans are really English
I was always told my great grandfather immigrated from Ireland, turned out that his children are weird people and lied about it. His family was mostly early colonists from Southern England.
Did I strike some sort of Irish nerve in South America? What exactly is the issue here?
Yes Ireland is "shaded" in all of those links, so is Nigeria, South Africa and Papua New Guinea. I'm not sure where this inane line of reasoning is meant to be going.
Wylie is found near exclusively in County Antrim, Murray is a classic borderer name, Leeper is also probably from Ulster. Not to put too fine a point on it, but OP's patrilineal ancestors were almost certainly Ulster Scots (who in turn were largely borderers).
he says that with zero sources and links the forebears site but ireland is shaded on all of those sites. millions of americans have irish as fuck names like o'connor and practice catholicism. he's trying to make engl*nd is greater than it is when they're all ugly obese retards
It's northern ireland though, which is British
Thats what im thinking but my father is catholic, and i thought most ulster scots are protestant?
Northern Ireland only recently became part of the UK, it's Irish
You're obviously Irish, look up yourself on sites like ancestry.com, don't listen to the retarded anglo with his false claims, Ireland is shaded on all the forebear links
That I can't answer for you, although Northern Irish families in America tend to be very, very old. I suppose anything can happen on that kind of timescale.
BEGONE ANGLOID
Yeah i guess so. Thanks for the help.
Probably. I have red hair and fair skin, so thats the most likely answer
why do people care?
Because white americans struggle for a sense of identity, unlike europeans
The Catholic/Protestant issue in Ireland is probably more variegated that you imagine. Use this type of info to buttress something that you already know.
The Scots were Irish that hopped the channel to the East.
I have Dutch mutts across the street from me.
>Northern Ireland only recently became part of the UK
It's been several hundred years - various conflicts came and went - then The Rising which some consider to be only the precursor to the actual war for independence. NI is what remained UK - not became. None of this makes any matter. NI is both Irish in nature and UK in government (for the most part - it's complicated).
I'll make it easy for you martsharters. Here's all your family trees'.
WE WUZ SCOTS,ANGLOS,JEWS,MEXICANS N SHIET Niga
you dont get out much, do you?
Don't get a DNA test, they are super overrated
