Definitely to honor his heritage. Prior to my doing his ancestry, he would have NEVER considered a kilt. He does like Renaissance festivals, for example, but never would have worn a kilt to one as he wasn't aware of having any Scottish heritage. He said to him it would be like someone wearing a Marine Corps Dress Blues when they aren't in the military, just because they liked the look.. Now, his family is very simple, I guess you could say - i love them to death, but getting any information out of his parents about his family roots is asking about quantum physics. They could tell me one generation and that was it.. So, I started to do his tree when I got tired of the headache that was mine.. All his life, he had thought his family was German and Irish, not sure why.. But, his m-grandmother was a Campbell and his m-grandfather was a Barnett (who's line takes him through into Clan Sutherland later down the road). Now that everything is checked, double checked and triple checked and he's definitely predominantly of Scottish heritage, he wants to own a kilt to wear to honor that heritage. He decided on Campbell, since that line is, in his opinion, the strongest line as his m-grandmother and his mother are the only females in the line. Definitely won't be wearing it to fit in - his dad is even laughing at the idea at this point.. LOL
