Ok, for those of you whose names I said I would look up.

Gingles = Cyndi pretty much summed it up. :-)

Garvin = This is an Irish name, as Cyndi said, but if you don't like the Irish tartan, consider looking on the Scottish side. Apparantly some Garvins came into Scotland. The name is listed in Black's _The Surnames of Scotland_. The first on record is Hew garvin, a tailor from Glasgow, in 1594. So how about the Glasgow tartan?

Jesse = Best I can tell this is an English name. There are *some* English district tartans (see http://www.district-tartans.com). You say there is a tradition of your family being "Scots-Irish." While we tend to think of these people being lowland Scot in origin (as indeed most of them were), many from northern England also migrated into Ulster and became part of this group. So, as others here have reccomended, the Ulster tartan would be a good choice to honor those roots.

Aye,
Matt
