    Fascinating! Many thanks for posting that. According to one of the web sites above, Henry Livingston Jr. was of Scots and Dutch heritage, so I still stand by my arguement that the Dutch tartan is an appropriate one, as well as the Livingston tartan:

    This is how you can tell that Todd is a true scholar. When you disagree with him and can provide some actual information / research he is interested instead of annoyed.

    Hmmm, I wonder what kind of sporran Santa wears?

    Cheers
