We will keep you posted on gatherings through announcements.
Greg and I are planning on hitting at least a couple of events in Colorado and possibly New Mexico.

Hi Ginger,
Thats great. Those test results will be a welcome addition to our other Ballachulish Livingston results and all the others tested. We look forward to seeing how it all turns out.

Donald

Re: My Livingston(e) Line
Hi Ginger,
In January we can work on a brief summary of your Ballachulish Livingston family history for the DNA project. Andrew Lancaster of the Maclea Livingstone DNA Project and Kyle will need some of the info I posted in some sort of summary for the Maclea Livingstone DNA Project and website. I can help you with that if you like. There is a lot there to sort through.
regards,
Donald

Whatever you want... You can have!
According to the website...The DNA has been pushed back to Jan 19-21...Tap tap tapping foot....
The Christmas present was a huge hit.

Re: My Livingston(e) Line
Hi Ginger,
Hope you and your family had a good Christmas and are having a happy holiday. Trying at this moment to dig myself out of the post Christmas debris which seems litter the living room after a last minute frenzy of wrapping gifts for all the families I am related to. Ready for a tall glass of eggnog.
Just having another enthusiastic Livingston visiting our forum and supporting our Clan Society endevours is reward enough. I wish that my efforts on this forum and that of others brought more Livingstons, Macleas and their kin to the site but all we can do is the best we can. We do greatly appreciate our regular contributors and all of our visitors to the forum.
I know how you are feeling. I got impatient waiting for our Livingston family test results at the time. Just hang in there a little longer and it sounds like you will get them shortly. Andrew Lancaster and Kyle Mclea have a greater sense of the DNA side of things and they are in charge of the project so they will be able help you better understand and intrepret the results. Sooner or later Andrew will need a brief biographical piece for the Maclea Livingston DNA Project and for the current DNA Project website consisting of Scottish origins of your family. That we can basically extract in summary form from the information I posted from my earlier research of your family if you like.
It is nice that your whole family seems interested in your Livingston family history. That is not always the case. My sister has no interest in family history. Fortunately my wife allows me to me fill the house with family research files. I have an old cabinet full of them and then some that I think will have go into storage before the Spring because they are taking up too much space. I will keep the Livingston ones handy however.
I am glad your family is thinking seriously about a trip to Western Argyllshire to visit the neighbourhood of your Livingston ancestors. There are a lot of scenic and historic spots you will want to check out in Western Argyllshire I am certain.
regards,
Donald

Re: My Livingston(e) Line
Still searching for Donald in Colorado, combing through cemetery and newspaper records. I did narrow down to Donald died between 1913 and 1920. Probably 1913-1917. I went back to Grandpa with the conflicting information that I had. Grandpa Jack left college to come home and run the quarry because Grandpa Donald died....and Grandpa Bill (J.W. Livingston Jr.) went to the funeral as a child. I couldn't figure out how that jived. It doesn't. It turns out the last bit is inaccurate. Grandpa Bill was not born yet when Grandpa Donald died. So...
Grandpa Jack (J.W. Livingston Sr.) was born in 1895.
I think he would have been in college around age 18-22 (1913-1917)
Donald is in the 1900 census but not the 1920 census.
My conclusion is he died between 1913-1917.
I wrote today to the people who do this website to see if they can enlighten me as to the quarry aspect of things.

This morning I got an email from the DNA place saying they had trouble and my date was pushed back to Jan 29. This afternoon I got an email that ALL THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!! (Not that I understand any of it....but I know some kind helpful people who do!)
WHooo hooo!!!

Hi Ginger,
Thats terrific. Andrew and Kyle will no doubt be taking a look at the results with great interest and discussing them with you and we will put together a brief summary of your Ballachulish family origins for the DNA project website soon.

Re: My Livingston(e) Line
I got a response from Peggy at the Quarry site. She is going to look into Donald's possible quarry work in Colorado. She also brought up a good point in that she will check her Georgia quarry records as well.
For some reason this possibility has escaped me but since he was in Georgia from 1884 to at least 1895 (Because grandpa Jack was the baby and born on GA in 1895 according to census.) He had to do something there for a living.
Interesting!?

Re: My Livingston(e) Line
and.. Peggy got bak to me.....Nothing.
Boo-hoo.
I have a question. I now know that Mary A. Livingston (Donald's wife) died approx 1930 and she definitely died in Colorado. That was the funeral Grandpa went to when they cut off Connie's hair. (Not Grandpa Donald's) Why would she and the girls (Anna, Flora and Katherine) not show up in the 1920 CO Census? I have only found one Mary A but she died in 1897 and was 75 yrs old. (sigh) I even know where SHE is buried.....
I had a long chat with the Jefferson County records guy who is really used to all this. He said in that time period there many deaths were not recorded and to get a death certificate if there even is one I have to have official documentation chaining me back to Donald. YIKES. He did give me some other resources and I am NOT NOT NOT giving up. THOSE PEOPLE ARE PLANTED SOMEWHERE IN COLORADO...(He also mentioned that cremation was very rare in those times.)
