0.09	Fitzgerald Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1818. Earliest known date: 1985 One of four Fitzgerald tartans all apparently designed by Robert P. Fitzgerald of Philadelphia. Starting with this variation of Robertson (for no discernible reason) he then designed the blue and hunting as color variations and a further "fancy dress" version.
