This essay argues that characteristics of the Irish and Scottish kin-based clan systems brought to America by settlers from Ireland and Scotland in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had lasting effects on American kinship systems. Using a case study to focus on a single family, it suggests that elements of kinship systems originating in Ireland and Scotland could be found in a central Georgia community in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This is significant because the location was far removed from areas often identified with Irish, Scottish, and Scotch-Irish settlers, such as the hill country of the lower Appalachian Mountains. It suggests that cultural folkways could persist across many generations of a family, even outside areas where they were heavily concentrated. The latter portion of the essay focuses on the role of one woman, family matriarch Rhoda Johnson, in shaping identity and transmitting culture across generations.

佐治亚州中部的苏格兰爱尔兰氏族?麦卡蒂家族在两个世纪中的迁移和发展

本文认为,在十七,十八世纪,爱尔兰和苏格兰的定居者将爱尔兰和苏格兰的基于家族的宗族制度带到美国,对美国的家族制度产生了持久的影响。通过一个案例研究来关注一个家庭,它表明起源于爱尔兰和苏格兰的血统体系的元素可以在19世纪末和20世纪初在乔治亚州的一个中央社区中找到。这一点很重要,因为该地点与经常被爱尔兰,苏格兰和苏格兰爱尔兰人定居者所识别的地区相去甚远,例如阿巴拉契亚山脉下游的丘陵地区。它表明,文化风俗可以在一个家庭的几代人中持续存在,甚至在他们高度集中的地区之外。
