HCGS COMING EVENTS May 2009
The Scotch-Irish in America - Charles Ward
Our May 13, 2009 meeting will feature a presentation on one of the four major British folkways that had a strong influence on early America and continues into the present day - the Scotch Irish. From 1713 to 1775, this immigrant group changed the very nature of the emerging American nation. Come and learn who the Scotch-Irish were, where they actually came from and why they came, and where they settled in the New World. Charles Ward, a member of the both the Howard County and Baltimore County Genealogical Societies, is an experienced family researcher with an in-depth knowledge of Scotch-Irish genealogy, culture and traditions.
The meeting is on May 13, 2009, at 7:30 PM at the Ellicott City Senior Center located behind the Miller Branch of the Howard County Public Library, 9401 Frederick Road. Informal workshop at 7:00 p.m. with Help Table, Browsing Table, and Surname File Table; a short business meeting at 7:30, followed by program. Free and open to the public. Reservations are not required.
