Re: William Livingstone

You are correct about the DNA project, it is for the male line. If you have a male Livingston relative that you could convince to join the project that would help you. There were a lot of Livingstons that came through Canada, New York, Pennsylvania, and the Carolinas. I have traced mine back to my ...

Livingstone Descendants Book

When my dad passed, there a book that he had that I wanted but my brother took it. It was supposedly a history of the Livingstone's..... the cover was dark red, paperbound and it was just stapled together. I know it's a long shot but does anyone remember seeing a book about Livingstone's that looked...

Re: Which test?

If your father had no sons and is no longer alive, you would need to find a male relative with the correct last name in a, as far as you know, unbroken line of males. Thank you for confirming what I found. Unfortunately, there are no "direct" cousins. The Ydna ended with my father. A bit ...

Which test?

My son is going to do a Ydna test for me. The Big Y test is out of the question due to cost so which of the other ones, through FTDNA, should I choose? Is the Y-37 good enough to be able to find the Livingstone info I need? EDITED TO ADD: There are no direct Livingstone men alive in my family nucleu...
