[Bryan Livingston]

Hi Kaye Great to see your post - and from my old university as well. Welcome back to the site! Kind regards, Bryan Livingston

[Douglas MacGregor]

My name is Douglas MacGregor and I lecture in Physics at Glasgow University. I will not give away my age in case any of my students come across this. I only recently started contributing to the McLea/Livingstone forum, although both my wife and I have a keen interest in family history and keep in touch with relatives around the globe. In recent years e-mail has made this very much easier, and I find that the internet has revolutionised communication and access to family records, through various websites such as Scotland's People, Free BMD, Genes Reunited and more specific sites such as this forum. My Livingstone connection is that Mary Livingstone (1790's-1879), who lived in Appin,

My recommendation is to start a new thread -- ask the Young Bachuil there -- this one's gone on so long, it's hard to find!

I am new to this forum and just finding my feet. My m.s. was Livingston from Aberdeenshire. My ancestors were from Rayne/Chapel of Garioch and Monymusk and so are probably connected to the Culsalmond family of John Livingston of your forum. I lived,studied and worked in Aberdeen for about 30 years and now live in SE Queensland so Hi to Grant because I used to live at Banora Point and now at Tallebudgera which I'm sure you know. I have not previously found anyone searching the same line as myself, but Bryan from NZ and I share a line which is exciting. Best wishes to all Jan Henderson

Hello Douglas, I did have a look at your web genealogy. It looks as though your Richford ancestor may have sort refuge in the Catholic belt in and around Glasgow. Wonderful to hear your in Glasgow and at Glasgow Uni. My grandfather was from Kinning Park. All the best! Grant. Australia.

[Keith Livingstone Australia]

My name is keith Livingstone, 47 years, chiropractor and middle/distance running coach, married with 4 children, living in the Barmah Forest on the Murray River in Australia. I am descended from Angus Livingston(e) who married Margaret McPhail, and had a son John by 1806. John and his son Gavin (b.1835)were woolen weavers at one stage.John in particular may have had a close friendship/cousinship with the famous Dr Livingstone, and the McPhail connection is well-established around the Dr's family at that time. We haven't gotten any closer than that really. It is possible that my ancestor Angus, who definitely was a Chelsea Pensioner (ie: served the king in a military or naval role for 20 years) is the same guy who ended up in Nova Scotia by 1820. If so, he was born in 1773, and is still buried at Big Bras D'Or, NS.
