Just saw this in the New England Historic Genealogical Society newsletter -- it's a fascinating site!

New Website for Ulster Scots
The Ulster-Scots Agency, in association with the Ulster Historical Foundation, the Centre for Migration Studies, and the Institute of Ulster-Scots Studies, has created a new website for individuals interested in the Irish-born Presbyterians who left northern Ireland in 1718 for North America.

This website, http://1718migration.org.uk has information on both the genealogy and history of these people. Contributors include Dr. James McConnel of the Institute of Ulster-Scots Studies, Dr. Linde Lunney of the Royal Irish Academy, and Dr. William Roulston and Colin Brooks. Anyone with roots among the Ulster Scots should visit this informative new website.
