Help me find my tartan(s).

Remember, these families might well be from different districts and so each branch associated with a different Clan. On that basis it wouldn't be odd for families with the same surname to be septs of different Clans.

I have some Woods back in my mother's family, I do know they emigrated from Ulster, Ireland (Scots-Irish) to the US in the early 1700's and settled in what is now Albemarle County Virginia. I am fairly sure they were Scots because the family helped found a Presbyterian church in Virginia. My tartan choices for this family connection would be the Woods tartan or the Ulster Red. The Ulster Red is a good looking tartan. There is a picture of a kilt in this tartan on Matt's website at www.albanach.org.

The longer you work on your family tree the more connections you will find, I have been working on my line and my wife's line for 5 or 6 years and continue to unearth a new connection every few months.

Keep digging, you will find more Scottish connections.
