Trying to link Dr David Livingstone to my family, i'm told we are descendants via his cousin Catherine Livingstone who is my mothers gg grandmother.The family lived in blantyre (McEwan, McDougall) and I believe some relatives emigrated overseas. If anyone can give me any info it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Hi there, I am told that my Gt. Grandmother Catherine
McLean ( later married Alexander Campbell ) was a 2nd cousin to David Livingstone. My Gt. Grandparents were born on The Isle of Mull, The Livingstones originally from The Isle of Ulva ( near Mull ) As David Livingstone was born on 19.03.1813 in Blantyre that would have been Catherine McLean's parents generation! They were called Hugh McLean + Euphemia MacDonald!! So unfortunately that's as far as I have got. Hope you find some links soon, then perhaps you can let me know .I do have a list of all David's children kindly given to me when I first joined GENES, if you like to have it, my email address is
