Gave me a bad url when I did it. But I link clicked and found my way in. Now how to figure out which of the 10X's Wilson's is mine. [email protected] wrote: >http://www.tartans.scotland.net/tartan_search_results.cfm?startrow=1 > >try this site. > >janice > >

Thanks so much for sending us this link, Janice. I had a lot of fun looking at all the variations of Wilson and MacNeil and got a better appreciation of our Wilsons of Bannockburn (possible) weaver ancestors. As I wrote to Don at greater length, I don't think we can conclusively decide whether our own Wilson ancestors are connected to the Gunn Clan (or to either of the other two septs shown on the Tartans of Scotland web site - Boyd and Innes) until we have been able to trace our own lines back to the areas in which they lived. Dr. Philip Smith in his Tartan for Me! doesn't include Boyd as a Wilson connection. His recommendation is that a person can safely decide to wear the modern or ancient colors of the family's tartan, in our case Wilson. If the search for the place of the family's origins in Scotland ever proves successful, then the further decision can be made whether or not one wishes to align oneself with the ruling clan in that area of which their Wilsons would have been a sept. I hope that this is helpful to someone.
