<t>Janet - following your last note - could you contact me by direct email to expand on the Aberdeenshire Livingstons connection, please ? My email is (excuse the anti-spam wording !) john DOT livingston AT btinternet DOT com I can't contact you as I don't have your address. Best regards John Living...

<t>The solid data I have is from the marriage of James Livingston (b.1767)and Barbara Thompson. James's father was also James, as was his Grandfather (b. 1740 and 1699 respectively).
