Monthly meetings are on the second Saturday of the month. An annual luncheon is held in November and there is no December meeting. Meeting locations change so please be sure to note where the meeting is held. Scroll down for addresses and maps for each location. Saturday, February 8, 2020 1:00 P.M. Glenview Public Library 1930 Glenview Road Speaker: Maureen Brady “The First Frontiersmen: The Scots-Irish” Some refer to them as Ulster Scots, others as Scots-Irish. Whatever their name, they are the U. S. descendants of those who were “planted” in the Ulster province of Ireland in the 17th century and subsequently immigrated to the American frontier. Their famous sons include Daniel Boone and Andrew Jackson, and we see their cultural influence in square dancing and country music. This presentation will review the history of the Scots-Irish and suggest resources for researching their family histories.
