Hi,
My name is Ernie. I found your site while surfing the net. I have been trying to trace my family's roots, but have not had a lot of success. Many dead ends. I did find my family name in a book of Tartans at the Scottish Festival last summer here in Rhode Island. I had always been told that our family was Irish, but never had a thought of being Scottish....sounds pretty good to me. Unfortunately I am not aware of family members around who can help confirm this. The book of tartans listed the Angus District for my family name, but no clan tartan. I have checked out this tartan and do like it. I am a hand weaver and have planned on weaving this tartan. I also am planning on making a kilt. I’m told by others, that this is an ambitious project. I do have some sewing skills, but never attempted such a project. At this time an weaving the tartan for a scarf. I am hoping to have this finished soon and would like to post pics when finished. I am looking forward to getting to know people here and anticipate many questions in the near future.

Sincerely,

Ernie
