<t>Hi Glen, Thanks for responding to my query on the resting place of Donald Livingstone (1728-1816)of Savary, Morvern. I contacted Donald McInnes whose family are from Morvern and he kindly sent me a photo he had taken of the tomb erected by Donald Livingstone for his father John Livingstone in 176...

Hi Andrew, Can't honestly say that these Leving's in Prussia have any connection to Baron de Leving at this point. Just found it interesting.

<t>Hi Andrew, No there is or were Levings in Prussia; I of course cant say what their origins were in Prussia or if by any chance they are connected to Baron de Leving mentioned as the ancestor of the lowland Livingstones. They all seem to be drawing from a source or sources that stated that the Bar...

<t>Andrew, Leving's were at Westfalen, Prussia, some in the Netherlands and Denmark. If you research this you will find it to be accurate I believe.Some of their descendants may still be living in these countries. I don't think anyone is 100% certain that Baron de Leving was Germanic, but neither do...

<t>Andrew, Anglo Saxons were germanic or dane or german if you like. The name Leving lives on in present day Germany. The name over the years following the death of Baron de Leving evolved in the Scottish context with some early spellings to Livingstone and that was name taken on by his later decend...

<t>Andrew, You and Rob have obviously spent many hours looking at all possible origins of our Livingstone name. I myself am inclined to think that the lowland Livingstone name may be rooted in the German Leving. Not an original idea, but one which seems to me plausible. Whether or not the original s...

<t>Hi Andrew, Well I guess in regards to the Maconlea/Livingstone clan origins I am not entirely certain of very much, but no I dont suppose were all going to neccessary originate from one original Dunsleeve/Maconlea ancestor from Western Argyll. I personally would be interested to see an intensive ...

<t>Absolutely. There could be a couple of things at play here such as the fact that some families may have been adopted into the Maconlea clan and may have a slightly different paternal DNA pattern. You certainly would find this in some cases with for example the Campbell Clan where some smaller cla...

<t>Hi Andrew, The whole point was to determine whether Dr. Livingstone's male ancestors and the Baron's are of the same family. Or at least one of the objectives. This is really the big question. Prior to Carmichael in the early 1900's i dont know that there was any written account linking Dr. Livin...

<t> I must of missed this one important detail. Perhaps your all a step ahead of me on this one as many of you are Scottish and more familiar than I with the history of the church. For my part I was surprised to learn that there were married clergy in Celtic Scottish Catholic church prior to the yea...
