DD#1 has been on a mission this Spring to pin down the exact birth, death, and marriage dates of members of Grandma's family tree.
In addition to online research, she made a special trip to the Canadian Archives in Toronto. Which in turn opened doors into the Vital Statistics of Manitoba.
The real bonus in all of this puzzle is a new friend named Maggie. Thanks to her we have scans from local genealogic records, pictures of headstones, and her own account of the life and times in Ninette.
Now we know the rest of the story.
Here are the details about the tartan which I purchased from Mountain and Sackett.
The Kerr Wool Tartan necktie is cut from the finest Scottish wool, and is handmade in New York City. Each tie is 3 1/2 inches wide and 58 inches long. The Kerr family, said to be of Norman descent, is recorded in the Borders in the 12th century. The two main families were the Kerrs of Cessford, now represented by the Duke of Roxburghe, and the Kerrs of Ferniehurst, represented by the Marquis of Lothian. This authentic Scottish Tartan is a timeless classic whose historic design has withstood the test of time.
How about your family tree?
Any tartans?
