Another Newbie
Hi All,
I'm frankly so excited to actually get connected with my Scottish roots. I was told my whole life I was Swedish and Norwegian and as it turns out, I'm mostly Scottish by both DNA and heritage. Doing research in places like familysearch.org and others, I've found numerous ancestors dating back to Sir William de Moravia and the Murray Clan among a couple of others.
So how does one find the right pattern for a proper kilt?

Welcome to the "Great Rabble"!  
If you're looking for 'patterns' get the book "The Art of Kiltmaking" from Barbara Tewkesbury, an advertiser on this page. More expensive from other sites.

By "pattern" do you mean a clan or family tartan, as opposed to a sewing pattern?
The easiest way is to just google "What tartan for ______ family?"
USA kilts has a tartan finder that's decent too.
