I never thought you were either!
On the topic, I was of the belief that I was basically Welsh on my father's side and
Irish on my mother's side. So I wore universal/fashion tartans, since I really don't
care for the "Welsh" tartans.
Going though old family stories and records, lo and behold,
my paternal grandmother, Mary Davies (or Davis, spelled both ways, sometimes on the
same document), was NOT, as I thought, a Welsh Davies. She was from "up North" which
in Lancaster means Scotland. Davis/Davies/Daveys is a sept of Davidson, so I wrote to
the Davidson Chief, and joined Clan Davidson USA. I like the Davidson tartans, but that's
not the reason for joining Davidson.

I misread "ignorant" for "innocent". I am plenty ignorant, as this indicates.
