At the age of 49 my mum died and she left me a stockpile of documents about my genealogy. After working on this for several months I stumbled upon my father's lineage.
I have a name that originates in the South of France medieval gascony, which I got from tgemai assumed to be my grandfather. He also gave me my first knife at the age of15, much to dismay if my mother.
in the pile were letters from paternal grandmother from her English speaking lover. My gran was married 6 years after my dad was born, andworked for pre war GM/GE GSM-Continental Europe in Antwerp between 1925 and 1930 birth year of my father. My dad was the illegitimate son of her English lover.
Research took years but I eliminated lije 20 out of 24 potential GM expats and ended with 4 candidates 2 in the highest and 2 in the 2nd highest category
the best ranked candidates havibvious links to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, so I decided to get more interested to the point that I wanted to wear a kilt.
out of respect for the family lineage addociayed with clan kilts I've decided to wear Stewart, I started with a hunting Stewart and a utility kilt in black with royal Stewart tartan in the pleads. I want an royal Stert an a black Stewart for more firmal ocassiobs,
all my accessories are based on the Thistle motif
