I've run into several people here that know the area. Which honestly surprises me, because I had no idea there were this many Scots in the area. I actually didn't find out I was Scotch-Irish until I had joined the Army. I ran into a soldier who did genealogy as a hobby, which got me started. I grew up a Lutheran and therefore thought I was German. Imagine my surprise when I asked my parents and they said we were Lutheran because it was the closest church to their childhood homes.
