Where Do I Come From?

And what I meant was that far too many people know kilts as those plaid things that Groundskeeper Willie wears, and therefore they can have trouble recognizing a solid color kilt as being a kilt.

Remember, sir, that to some of us, those "plaid things" you refer to symbolize our heritage & family, past and present.

I have no problem with solid colour kilts; I quite admire the Irish saffron and green kilts, as well as tweed ones. The more modern styles -- well, they're not for me, but if others want to wear them, then good on 'em. My mother always taught me that if you want respect, you must give it first.

Different horses for courses and all that.

I didn't mean you or anyone else on this site, but rather people who know next to nothing about kilts. And it wasn't that long ago that I was one of them. I probably should have put the "those plaid things" bit in quotation marks, because I was just trying to convey the way a lot of people think of kilts.

Very good then...I didn't read your post closely enough. Apologies for that.

With the background you already know, I think you'll find what a boon computer technology has been to the field of genealogy. Genealogy is an easy field to become addicted to, but like kilts, a lot of fun. Who knows what clans be lurking in your family tree if you go exploring from your current knowledge base.
