Hello, ima newbie...

Hello all,
In my ever constant research of my family names, I have found another cool website...THIS ONE!

In my spare time, I have been researching the genealogy of my last name and mother's maiden name ever since I was a kid, and thanks to the internet, I have found SO much more than I ever could have otherwise. Today, I have been trying to find the tartan for "Lysaght" and actually found a message posted in one of these forums over a year ago and was hoping to find that person. Someone named Cyndi from the Thistle Stop was commissioned to create a tartan for the Lysaght clan and I was hoping I may be able to contact her. I can't believe we don't have one (th' names ov'r tousand yrs ol'!) and was looking forward to seeing if she completed it. I don't know if anyone can help me but I would really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance and I hope I am not being too forward on the first post! I'm not up on "post etiquette" and am not sure if I am asking for help too soon since I just signed up! But I have found over the years that research on my own is really difficult, especially when I have a pretty rare last name and live in the US! All of my roots go back to Ireland, Scotland, and England without much in the way of book-keeping on the part of my ancestors! Thank goodness for Edward MacLysaght or I wouldn't know anything at all!!
Thank again and I look forward to chatting with you all!
Jm Lysaght

Welcome to the coolest rabble around.

I hope you find all you're looking for. As far as a tartan for the Lysaght surname, most Irish surnames do not have their own tartan. District tartans are more common in place of. I don't know which district your people came from. But, for example, if it were Country Clare then that tartan would be in order.

I'm no expert or anything... just thought I'd shed a little light in the way of such...

Boy do I understand. I used to do family genealogy in any library I could get to. The Internet sure connected info a lot easier. Have found distant cousins with info to share and in need of info I had....including a very distant cousin back in Skye who teaches Gaelic and has a program in Gaelic on the radio.

Kilts let us wear our genealogy.

AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIRDANIEL1975 THANK YOU!!! The Lysaght tartans are there!
Thank you all for your warm welcome and I am so excited to see the tartans that Cyndi designed. And she did 3! I wasn't expecting the hunting and dress ones!! And if anyone knows Cyndi, let her know I would really like to thank her. The designs are beautiful. And I really am looking forward to chatting with all of you!
Thanks!!!
