I believe my ancestors did live in Ulster, but they were originally from Scotland. Family name was Weir, isn't that Scottish eamonn?

I know for sure there is some Scottish and Welsh ancestry that I've been told past that I'm unsure.

But we're likely talking about genetics and the Ulster Scots were still Scottish and still Scottish blood, even if it is from the Lowlanders.

eamonn, you are more from the Highlands I assume?

I have some English and Irish blood on my dad's side, along with a bunch of other random European nationalities. However, my mom's side is 100% Hungarian, and that's what I consider myself.

I'm roughly half German and half Irish (including Ulster Scots as I found out about a month and a half ago).

i think the the results of this poll are skewed... some groups of people may be equally affected by aspergers but as a whole are less likely to own a computer or have access to doctors to get diagnosed or educated about such disorders.. so they can't vote in this poll

gah i couldnt think of a way to say that concisely, i hope i made some sense.
