Flax weaving - 1718 Boston to Casco Bay, ME to Londonderry NH I know that it was this group of emigrants that introduced linen weaving to New England.

Can anyone help me understand the process. How is it done? What is a bleacher of cotton, a linen draper, a tailor. Are they the same?

Hello all, I've no idea of the accuracy of data contained on the following web sites but there have been a couple of questions regarding this information of late. If nothing more perhaps these will serve as starting points for locating the knowledge sought. Good luck, at any rate, Ada R. (McFaul) Amos For information on clans and septs, information can be found online at: The Gathering of The Clans http://www.tartans.com/index.html Wrapping and wearing a kilt is explained at: Tartan Web http://www.scottish-selection.com/tweb/greatkilt/index.htm If anything is found to be inaccurate please let the rest of us know about it. Thanks.

Yes, my checks indicate England and N Ireland. I have replied to you by e- mail, with an ATTACHED FILE which gums up the works on Rootsweb as I have found :( But I doubt if other CLANS listers are interested in those names.

I noted on a commercial tartan site that the Royal Stewart Tartan is listed as acceptable for anyone to wear. Is that because the last royal Stuart died with the Old Pretender? Kathleen

There are many lists which are dedicated only to genealogy.

Dear Friends, I know this may be a little off the genealogy subject, but I have a kilt question. Now, I know that ladies wearing kilts is not the familiar tradition, however, I have noticed that many online kilt makers make kilts and or tartan skirts for ladies. My question is, does the lady wear the tartan of her own family or that of the husband if she is married? What does the new tradition say? Sincerely, Dave King
