Subject: Scotland to Ireland -- WHY -- 1740
Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 23:09:02 EDT

My ancestors moved from Fife, Scotland to County Down, Ireland in 1740.
Why would they leave Scotland to go to Ireland? Were there major political or
economic troubles in Scotland around this time.

What would be the most likely port that they sailed from being that they were
from Fife? Were there ship passenger list preserved from that time period for
such a short journey?
Thanks,
Robert
