I was aware that William Wilson Created many (now numbered) patterns, and thought I understood which ones were considered "family". Now I am confused, what is a sept and why is that important? My uncle should be sending me a copy of the family tree which should of course only confuse me more.

I suspect that it wont matter since for reasons of cost and matching the rest of the bridal party I will probably have to go with a more generic pattern. Too bad, some of the Gunn's look nice.
