a material... a material... boy
Now, I'm not a 'material boy' by any stretch of the imagination (I'm a man - hello??) but there's a handful of things resting on this orb that absolutely fascinate me.
One of those 'things' is a kilt.
For eons, I've wanted to own a kilt as a salutary nod to my Celtic heritage. Her Majesty Miranda says she won't weave me a kilt (HRH says she's a knitter; I think she's a slacker!) but I remain undetered in my quest for a wee bit o' skirt.
See, my mom's family tree originates from County Cork (which probably explains allot, I agree) and this, I believe, is where my maternal grandma was born and raised:

But (and it's a huge Jaylo-size 'but') I don't know what my clan is... does anyone out there have any suggestions as to how/where I might start looking for tartan clues?

Irish tartans are fairly new in the tartan scheme of things. Mostly, they used place tartans. The Cork tartan can be found here:

Give me a call if you need more info.
ask your brother-in-law, half of his family lives in County Cork - your sister has even been there a couple of times and could probably find one for you -
from your sister
p.s. where the bleep have you been?
