<t>Dear Kin, I have spent many enjoyable hours learning about our shared ancient past and have an elderly 88 year old father who is spending his last few years on this planet connecting with his Morvern/Isle of Lismore Maconlea ancestors through the Young Baron's wonderful tales. It is for these rea...

<t>Hi Kyle, Thanks Kyle for the update on that question. I am sorry I really dont know anything about the DNA research on that site, so I cant comment one way or another about it. I did not know that Andrew was doing a DNA research project on the Livingstones. It is as you state a private Livingston...

<t>Hi Kyle, I was surprised when you said you were not connected to our McLeas as I have at first speculated that you were descended from some highland McLeas that had gravitated to the Lowlands looking for work. Then again I realize that you could be from a McLea group located for centuries in the ...

<t>Hi Andrew, With all due respect, three people contributing is a far cry from 2004 when were all participating on a regular basis as a unified clan. I'm sorry but I have to be honest. I am not seeing that now. Lets have an open exchange/debate of ideas that benefits everyone. regards Donald </t>

Hi Andrew, Then are you saying you don't know about the other private Livingstone forum or support it? Donald

<t>Hi Kyle, If your a bit confused about any the info so far discussed you can always backtrack a bit an go back to past posts/my discussions with the Young Bachuil in 2004 and 2005 in which he answers alot of the questions regarding the Livingstones. There are more than a few unanswered questions r...

<t>Hi Kyle, Yes I believe we all in our own way contribute to the ultimate success of the forum. No question some of us are more knowledgeable or articulate on the subject of the clan, but I think somewhow we are all part of an extended family if you like. An ancient family called McLea Livingstone....

<t>Hi Rob, Thanks for your interesting comments. Perhaps the missing e is just not terribly significant in the baptismal records, I was just surprised that the Baron's family and other Livingstones on the Island were recorded as Livingston for that stretch of time. Maybe I was looking for something ...

<t>Hi Kyle, You probably don't know about this but there was a "Livingstone" recorded among the Earl of Argyll's soldiers in 1685 apparently from Kilchatton in Argyll. ROb actually pointed this out to me a while back. It is presumed that he of the Maconleas of Kilchatton. This does not throw off my ...

<t>Hi Kyle, Colonsay is south of Mull if that is any help. So it is within the general area I am researching for my Livingstones. It is interesting how we all connect one way or another to MacLeas or Livingstones. Some even to Dr. Livingstone. In some ways I am so close and yet so far in my research...
