Hi Roberta,
I enjoy your work.
Well I have been trying to find out about those old Livingston families but there descendants I am afraid either no longer exist or are elusive. For the most part when I search the later lowlands for Livingstons in the 19th century with the help of census records I am afraid I mostly locate highland Livingstons who have settled with their families in the lowland areas of Lanarkshire for example where employment in mills and whatnot was available to the highlanders such as Dr. Livingstone's grandfather Neil LIvingston how left the Isle of Ulva in 1792 for a mill work in Blantyre, Lanarkshire. That being said I find it hard to fathom how all the branch families of the old aristocratic Callendar could have essentially vanished after the 1700's in Scotland.
regards,
Donald
