interesting read thanks

Hi Rene Just a thought. There may be some male Livingstones back in your history you don't know about. One way you could try to find one is through autosomal DNA which normally goes back to 4 generations. If you can find an autosomal Chapman match on say gedmatch they might be the male you are looki...

Hi John, Just to refresh my memory and see if I have the Y111 Livingston DNA matches correct can you check this info below: Phillip Livingston (your cousin) His Livingston Y DNA Matches at 111 markers tested Big Y R-TF134647 Ancestors James b.1763 son of Alexander Livingston and Elizabeth Hogg of T...

Thank you for the warm welcome and helpfull replies i think I may go down the DNA route i wonder about cost and interpretation of the test but worthwhile none the less i suppose I'm more frustrated at the lack of activity with the Livingstone clan through history we don't seem to of made much of a ...

Hi Donald

I will try and reach out to the Edwin match

John

Yes that is correct R-FT134647 for both my male Livingstone cousin Phillip Livingstone and for Ronald L Livingstone II. Both have done Big Y. Ronald lives in North Carolina (John Livingston/Liveston b. abt 1751 Forfar)

Hello Donald, These are all of the Livingson's with various spellings that I have for Tranent, East Lothian. I have grouped them into families. Tranent, East Lothian, Scotland ( total of 15families, 72 births or christenings) 1. David, c. Nov.17,1612 Father: Nuckill Livingstone Alexander, c. April,...

Thanks Donald for the feedback. The fact that they are a direct match on the Big Y means they are from the same male line. I agree with you as it seems the 1600's is a good guess. Also Genetic Distance of 5 at 111 markers. I assume Edwin Livingstone might also be in the same grouping but not tested ...

Hi Donald DNA update

Ronald Lindsay Livingston II, with John Livingston/Liveston b. abt 1751 Forfar as earliest known ancestor Big Y is R-FT134647

Phillip Livingstone my cousin we have traced back to Tranent is also confirmed Big Y as R-FT134647

Direct match

John

HI Not sure if this will help. It seems to me that the paper records for the Livingston line have reached a dead end at 1730 with Alexander. Our Livingston YDNA takes the story from the same family tree a little further back to LIvage and Livingstone into the 1600's in the Glammis Forfar area. Just ...
