Let me introduce myself. My name is Jerry. My family is from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, but I live in Virginia. My grandparents, my father and my uncles immigrated to the USA in the mid 20s. From trying to trace family genealogy, I found that my family is a sept of the Macneil of Barra clan, so when I started wearing kilts, that was the tartan I chose .I found my way here to this forum from a link posted at "Tom's Cafe" So far my Kit wearing is just about limited to Celtic festivals and Highland games, but I did go out to dinner and breakfast in Williamsburg this past weekend in my kilt, when i was there for the Williamsburg Scottish festival. Even though I'd read a lot of positive reactions in the Cafe forum, I was quite surprised at the positive reactions I got. I'm going to try and wear my kilts more often in the future.
