<t>I'll have to go back to my notes, on another computer at home. However, from memory, John was the first born of eight, and his birthday was recorded as Feb 7 1806 (may have been 1805). He did have a much younger sister Anne who was born around 1821. I have posted some of this elsewhere on the sit...

<t>Keith here. I check in about twice a week, and have been doing so since about 2000. I only knew of my grandfather who was in the Argyll and Sutherland highlanders 1st 6th as a platoon sergeant in WW1 and had his leg blown off for his troubles... and now thanks to the site and a lot of googling, e...

<t>A very good little book called Clan Stewart of Appin 1463-1752 (Michael Stafforth) ISBN 0-9530743-0-7 provides excellent contextual references to Livingstones and MacLeas, and records the fate of Culloden prisoners. (some were summarily executed against walls by the British). I got my copy in the...

<t>Another account of Livingstone's journey that I've read, from contemporaries, involved a botanist who had collected samples for a good length of time. Livingstone had decided to negotiate the swirling waters of the Zambesi, and (presumably because he felt he was on a mission from God), if it was ...

<t>I came upon this tale in a children's book about Dr David. Apparently at one stage in his African travels he came across an interesting area geologically. He'd had training in geology, and spent quite some time examining the rocks strewn over the ground, many of which he tossed aside after examin...

<t>I have been aware of a large Livingston family group in northwestern Victoria, Australia, that appears to have been here since early settlement in the 1830's. Many were butchers. I believe there is a Livingstone buried in the early Western District town of Hamilton, near the famous Grampians rang...

<t>RLS had Alan Breck Stewart painted as the assasin, and my recall is that he honourably offered himself in exchange for James Stewart of the Glen, in the book. I've been to the spot with its memorial. I've made up my mind to rip off a Campbell in a land deal over here at some stage, just for some ...

To Donald really: any news of this known male descendant of same, who may carry the Y-DNA of Dr David?

<t>Thank you. This is of great interest, and gives me something else to look for next time I'm in Scotland! I feel that RLS might have taken literary licence with the original story, but anyhow our Livingstone lads were involved in the original, and our kinsmen certainly were. Cheers, Keith.</t>
