Hi Sharon,
Thank-you for that. There are a some very dedicated Livingstone clan members out there who have helped to make this forum what it is today. We Livingstones are a very proud bunch and are very enthusiastic about the future of our Maclea Livingstone Clan Society. Of course it is through the kindness of our Clan Chief Baron Niall Livingstone that we have this wonderful forum and Clan web site. I hope that you continue to enjoy the site. Roberta and Jewel are also descendants of Cape Breton Livingstones and frequently dropping by the forum providing us with their insightful comments and research skills.
Glad to hear your hanging on to your ancestral Livingston homeland in Cape Breton. I am ashamed to say I have never been to Cape Breton or Nova Scotia. I know the views along the coast must be pretty amazing. Definitely will take a trip out there one of these times.
regards,
Donald

Re: Just to say Hello
Well. I managed to register so "Hello!"
My name is Ginger Livingston Sanders. We were originally Livingstones but during WWII the Army dropped the "e" from my great-grandpa's name and it turned out to be easier for him to change his name than his Army records. I have always loved my Livingston name and since I travel a lot, would love to learn of any family I might have in Scotland and around the world. I will have more information in a week or so when my grandparents settle in from their annual migration from Oregon to Arizona.
I do know the following info.
John Williiam Livingston(e) Sr. born? died 1962(He's the one they dropped the "e" on.) Since he met my great-grandma in California when they were 20-ish I doubt he came over from Scotland, although she came over from Sweden so who knows....We are also McCarters on his side.
John William Livingston Jr. 1921 to present born in California (I think)
David William Livingston 1943 to present born in San Gabriel, California
Nice tae meit ye!

Re: Just to say Hello
Welcome, Ginger! It's great to have you here! Some of our volunteer researchers may have some ideas or leads for you at some point. I would recommend that when you hear from your grandparents and have more information, share it in the "Ancestral Search" subforum, starting a new thread when you do!
We'd love to hear more about your family and maybe we can help you find out some more or make connections using our paper records. It MAY also be of interest to you to explore the DNA project if you have male relatives of the Livingston/e name (brother, father, etc.).
Again, welcome, Ginger!

Hi Ginger,
See the postings in our "Ancestral Search" section regarding your Livingston family queries. Jewel and I have located your family in Colorado in 1900 and possibly in Scotland in the 1800's.

Donald

Re: Just to say Hello
It's amazing.. I am still trying to process all the info.
My Dad (David Livingston) had a massive stroke in August and is slowly recovering his right side motor skills and his speech. He is very excited by all the info and we discussed a trip to Scotland in the future. It is heartwarming to see him have a goal like that.

If he's able, that Scotland trip might be a really memory maker for him! I hope he gets to see the old homeland at some point, if it's possible! Glad we could be of help!
