Ancestry/Genealogy

Since all my "Irish" ancestors I have traced so far were the ones imported from England and Scotland to assist the English in establishing Protestants in Northern Ireland, the records aren't of much help to me so far. As far as I can figure, my ancestors were not landowners in Ireland either before or after the Cromwell period - they were likely tenants or whatever the term that was used.

The one surname that gets a hit in their names database is "Calvert" but I'm pretty certain that they were not close relatives of Lord Calvert who had estates in Ireland and who "owned" Baltimore, so that hit is no help.
