Welcome and failteto the UlsterHeritage website, home of All
Things Ulster. Here you will find information about
Ulster
genealogy, families, clans, history and culture. This
is the place to renew one’s
Ulster roots and to meet other
Ulster
folk. This is also the home to the Ulster Heritage DNA
Project where many descendants of Ulster Folk throughout the
Diaspora are using DNA testing to recover their family
history and to locate lost cousins.
UlsterHeritage is the on-line meeting
place for
Ulster and its Diaspora. UlsterHeritage will be growing and we will be adding
articles on family history, aspects of Ulster culture such
as food and drink, the Fairy folk, and Ulster’s rich and
ancient history, her ties to the Hebrides and Argyll, etc.
Our readers, we hope will visit often and we, also, urge
readers to submit articles or photographs. Speakers of
Gaelic and Ullans are particularly urged to submit short
articles as one of the goals of UlsterHeritage is pro-active
encouragement of our living
Ulster
heritage and culture.
The links and advertisements on the
site all have relevance to
Ulster. We have personal
experience with many of the
businesses, such as Glens Music, Duncan House. We can assure our readers they
are indeed worthy of having a look.
UlsterHeritage is the work of Barry
McCain and Jim McKane, two men of
Ulster
ancestry. Barry’s people left
countyAntrim circa 1720 and
Jim’s left northern Tyrone in the 1830s. The two men were
early participants in the Ulster Heritage DNA Project and
discovered they were cousins. They have successfully located
a branch of their family that remained behind in
Ulster. Both men are
available for seminars and speaking engagements and their
contact data is available from the links. Barry lives in Oxford,
Mississippi
and is one of the well-known Mississippi McCains. Jim
lives in Ontario,
Canada, is a noted Moose
hunter and kinsmen to the also well-known New Brunswick McCains.
Enjoy your visit here, come back
often, and feel free to contact us with your suggestions and
