I agree with Alex, this could get to be an interesting thread.

My paternal g-gm (my father's father's mother) came from County Antrim (the immigration record from Ellis Island records site lists Toomebridge as the town of origin) as a child with her family in 1903. She's the most recent immigrant in my direct lineage. That record is the only information I have about her family's origins - long story there.

Supposedly, my Scott family is Scots-Irish, but like WBHenry we, too, have some difficulty tying back to the old country in this line. As I've noted in other thread, a cousin posted his research to Rootsweb (I'm slowly confirming what was posted, as some of the info was incorrect), which indicates our ancestor settled in the Clinch River valley (extreme SW Virginia) around 1774. We haven't been able to determine where he was prior to that time.
