- 06/11/2010 — Genet of An Gwylvos (Montana) (register-of-tartans, record)
This tartan honours Celtic blood brought to “Genet of An Gwylvos” over four generations. The Clans Sutherland, Gillis, Geikie, the Cornish Hitchens and Irish Wilkinsons are all represented. Homage is paid to the nations of France and the United States, the original and current home of this Genet line, respectively. The black and white (sett as St Piran’s Cross) represent the Cornish, the blue represents the Scots and the green, the Irish. The three red stripes are the blood of these Celtic lands. The red, white and blue colours combine to represent France and the United States. The tartan uses a Sutherland palette to honour the first Celtic blood brought to these Genets. An Gwylvos is the name of E R H Genet's home in Montana and is Cornish for "The Wilderness". - 6th Nov. 2010 — Genet of An Gwylvos (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
This tartan is designed to honour the Celtic blood brought to "Genet of An Gwylvos" in every generation for over a century. The Scottish Clans of the Sutherlands, Gillises and Geikies, combined with the Cornish Hitchens and Irish Wilkinsons are all represented. Homage has also been paid to the nations of France, the original home of the Genets, and the United States, the home of the "American Genet" since 1793. The black and white, sett as St. Piran's Cross, represents the most recent Celtic heritage, the Cornish. The blue represents the Scots and the green, the Irish. The three red stripes represent the blood of the three Celtic lands of Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall. The red, white and blue colours combine to represent both France and the United States. The tartan was given a Sutherland "feel", if you may, to honour the first Celtic infusion into the Genet bloodline. "An Gwylvos" is Cornish for "The Wilderness".
