Crest Tartan et al - what to do?

[Jason Livingstone]

I take it from the absence of reply that either this post has not been read by YB or that there is no news on the hopeful production of clan crests. I will quietly hope for their production at some point as my pride in our clan gently simmers! On another subject and without getting political or emotive I compare my current feelings as I write this from Somerset England to those of our ancestors who at the time of the clearances contemplated abandoning what they knew and loved for the unknown of either Canada or the US, and a potential better life. I find myself doing the very same thing. There is a certain poetic justice in perhaps following those kinfolk, now in the 21st century to places they settled all those years ago. So let me post a question... Where are there now the most Livingstones in N America? Where did our ancestors end up? God Bless ye all, wherever you are. I may be following you just a year or two late........

Jason, My silversmith made up one badge for my parents - but they felt it was OK for a one off - but not suitable for a master. He is now making a second and tells me it will be ready in about a month.

Thanks for the update. As with most things in life the good ones are worth waiting for. Fingers crossed that the silversmith produces the "goods". I look forward to ordering one when you have agreed to the necessary quality. Best wishes to all. Jason
