Part of this oppression also meant that their <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Scottish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scottish</a> ways were literally being outlawed (wearing the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/kilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kilt</a>, playing the pipes, and speaking <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Gaelic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaelic</a> were all declared criminal offenses).Some Scots migrated to <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ireland</a> off and on, and some of those came to the USA during the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GreatPotatoFamine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreatPotatoFamine</a>.

Northumbrian StoriesOne of the documents that started me on the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FamilyHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FamilyHistory</a> trail. I found it (aged 12) in a suitcase filled with old photos and documents in my granny's wardrobe, and couldn't rest until I made sense of it all.In 1839, someone made these careful copies from the parish records of Kiltarlity in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Invernessshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Invernessshire</a> of baptisms of the children of John Fraser, sawyer, and his wife Margaret, from between 1811 and 1823. Their second son was my 3x g-grandfather.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#genealogy</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/geneadons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#geneadons</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ScottishGenealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ScottishGenealogy</a>
