What ethnicity would you consider Protestant Northern Irish? (plantation, trees)

[belmont22]

Would you consider them mostly Irish, Scottish, or English? Or are they a distinct ethnicity of their own, a bit like the Swedish-speaking Finns?

Why don't you google the answer instead of being a typical race obsessed American? Further feeding the stereotype that we are always thinking about race 24/7

Oh good grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not another thread like this.

[dunno what to put here]

I'm pretty sure that none of those listed come under 'ethnicity'.

[Perfect Stranger]

They're basically the descendents of Scottish, English and Welsh settlers with some native Irish thrown into the mix.

The Plantations of Ireland, and in particular the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, introduced great numbers of Scottish, English as well as French Huguenots as colonists.

Well hardly anybody has huguenot ancestry. People claim to have it but the amount that came here was very small. I have not seen any in my area when doing trees either.

Yes I found that surprising myself. I always thought mostly Scot with some English.
