The Clan McLea/Livingstone Forum

I am rob's younger brother by 2 years.  tomorrow, 9/23/09 the Livingstons will be gathering in Placerville, Calif., my brothers home. We will be celebrating my brothers life. It will be a joyous and yet sad affair attended by a select group of friends and immediate family. i just finished reading all of the wonderful words written by members of the forum about rob. I continue to marvel at the respect rob has garnered from members of the clan and members of the forum in regards to his research and dedication to the clan.  thank you all for your kind words. To us  he was always full of wonderful stories about his research on the clan. we all marvelled at his ability to follow-up on a story, fable, contact or just a hunch he felt would lead him to more information on the clan. In the process, he educated us here in the states on not just family history, but scottish and european history as well. He was always driven, almost to the end, to gather as much factual data as possible before he left us. i hope his dedication is an inspiration to all to continue in a quest to further not just Livingston clan information, but whomever's geneology may be being researched.  sincerely,  the Livingstons of Eureka, California, USA
