New Member from Alabama

**uncledelphi** · 9th November 05, 07:39 AM

Greetings, all. I have been lurking for some time and finally decided to register and post. I am a musician in Huntsville, AL, USA. My ancestry is mixed, with relevant Celtic ancestry including Clan Armstrong (Nixon sept) from Scotland, Davis family from Wales, Rogers family from Cornwall, and who-knows-what from Ireland.

I currently have two kilts on order, a traditional "tank" in the Armstrong Ancient tartan from Alexis Malcolm, and a casual Blackwatch off of eBay.

I look forward to discussing kilts, etc. with all of you, but I probably won't post very much. I am mostly here to learn.

BTW, please let me know if my avatar is inappropriate.

Welcome! You have found the best kilt wearing resource on the net.

I notice that you mention Davis descent from Wales. Have you actually been able to trace it back to Walses? I am a Davis as well but still trying to trace the geneaology.

Welcome to the board. We're a bit of a nutty bunch but we're mostly harmless. :mrgreen:

Welcome aboard!

Whereabouts in Alabama are you from? My father lived there for a few years, near Huntsville (Toney specifically).

Anyway, nice to see another new face.

I live in beautiful Huntsville, AL. Not a bad place for kilting, I might add, since most of the people here have some sort of Celtic ancestry and seem to clamour for all things Celtic. We have a small highland festival every year.
