Hi Joanne
Just thought I would touch base as I am also looking for a Janet Livingstone. From I think Rothesay Scotland. She went be the name of Jessie died in Ontario in 1944 10 years different and I have mine married to a William Boulton. Also rumored to be a distant cousin of Dr. Livingstone I am waiting on the death certificate to see if I have the parents. Was told they were Duncan Livingstone and Sarha MacFarland. My Janet would have had one sister but I don't have name or anything on her just that in 1938 her neice and nephew visited in Scotland

Hello!!!

You and I are related!!! I decend from Janet's sister Beatrice's line, she was my great grandmother.

I have lots of information on her family and I am also in contact with Janet's twin brothers family

As for the david Livingstone rumor that has been pasted down through My family as well. I have yet to prove its true. Interestingly Janet's Twin's Grandson whom I am in contact with has never heard this rumour.

Would love to talk to you
