I saw 4 or so mentioned somewhere. You might do a wesearch or start here: http://www.somebody.to/irishkiltclub.htm

I have a solid red kilt, but when I saw that red was associated with Reagan, I quickly lost interest.

But solid colored kilts are not associated with particular Irish families anywhere other than O'Dinan's mind. If you want to wear a solid red kilt (or blue kilt, or green kilt, or purple kilt, etc), wear it. Don't worry about what family this nut wants you to think it "belongs" to.

I don't think there were tartans for the families as it was more for the region/district they lived in. Like if they lived in the Ulster district, then they would have worn an Ulster tartan, right??

The Ulster tartan is so named because the original piece was found in Ulster in 1956. It is not a contemporary name of the tartan, but rather a modern one.
