Donald, i found that DNA chart from Family Tree by googling around, but i don't know how old it is, or exactly how to read it. not that you need to look at it, but here is the link. about half way down there is a group called "Livi*/Parker" which includes a Duncan Livingston b 1756 and a D...

Donald, I am trying to get a basic understanding of the DNA project. Am I correct that both your cousin ( Lloyd is it?) and my cousin, Duncan, are both in the "Parker/Liv" group? I am looking at a family tree DNA chart online, and see around 18 people in that group, but do not see a Lloyd ...

Donald, i just finished reading a book "Culloden and the Last Clansman" by James Hunter. have you read it? very interesting history of Culloden, the events preceding, and the execution a few years afterwards of James Stewart (of Appin) for the murder of a Campbell. i learned a lot of infor...

Donald, i am actually quite pleased to have virtual certainty that my ancestors were from the Argyle area. although it would be nice to know even more, i am satisfied that i have a better trace to my roots than most people are able to accomplish. it is great that we are confirming Duncan Livingston ...

Donald, i find it interesting that every time you give a list of surnames from western Argyll, i know people here in my county by every single name without exception, and usually mutltiple people of each name. now that i am so interested in Scottish heritage, i have numerous possible resources to le...

Donald, yes, i think i have read about everything on the website, and find it very interesting. definitely gave me great pride in my heritage. i am waiting on a book to arrive titled "Culloden And The Last Clansman" by James Hunter ( i read the first 2 chapter online), which was recommende...

Donald, Yes, I will join the society. I ordered my 67 marker DNA kit today. And, I really like the ancient colors. I bought a necktie a few weeks ago in it. We have a small Highland games here in Scotland County in October which I attend. There is a big one at Grandfather Mountain in the NC mountain...

Donald, i do not know if you can insert internet links on the forum, but below is a web address for an interesting land grant site furnished by the NC archives. you can search any name, like Duncan or Hugh Livingston, which i did, and you will see several land grants, mostly described as "east ...

Donald, our Livingston cemetery is where Peter is buried. i was just looking back through your old posts, and saw a reference to a Livingston/Smith cemetery. that would be the cemetery of the Daniel Livingston (who was an adult in 1850) family branch i mentioned earlier. they are near Wagram, NC nex...

that sounds like another good example of how facts can get jumbled up. i am sure the legal papers are correct about Hugh's death in 1872, but his headstone says 1873. i always heard he was exhumed and moved to his present resting place, so i suspect he got a new headstone at that time, and they got ...
