This thread is dedicated to the Ulster Protestants who are quite an interesting ethnoreligious group in that they formed relatively recently in the terms of the histories of Ireland and Britain. I have quite a bit of Ulster Protestant ancestry myself on my mother's side. My grandmother was actually born and raised in Ulster and was of Protestant stock. She was very proud to be from County Tyrone and my great grandfather and many of my great uncles were members of the Orange Order. There is a good possibility that I am actually distantly related to one of the founders of the Orange Order. I know that there has been a lot of bloody conflict in Ulster now for quite some time between the Protestants and Catholics and since I live in Canada I really do not side with one over the other yet I still do find the history of Ulster to be quite interesting. I have been to Ulster twice before and hope to visit again at some point in my life.
