Connecting 300 years of Scotch Irish family history

About Us

1718 Project

Documenting the 1718 emigrants to America from Ireland. Primarily Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who settled in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

Worlds first "living" project

While we document folks who have died, we CONNECT living descendants back to Ireland. A "dead" family means we have found all the data for the 1718 emigrant. However, our work is ALWAYS focused on staying "alive" finding current descendants and their relatives


BE the missing link

Did you know the 1718 emigration included Quakers, Anglicans, Catholics? Did you know 1st families settled from Maine down to South Carolina? Did you know families still live in Ireland connected to this emigration? YOUR family history, documents and DNA could be the missing link.
