Not sure of this particular question, but for all MacLea-related inquiries I suggest you try the Clan MacLea/Livingstone Forum:

I'd like to invite you all to visit the Clan MacLea (Livingstone) web forum:

http://www.clanlivingstone.info/forum/index.php

Our Clan Historian and others know a lot more about the Dr David Livingstone connections.... Although firm connections are impossible (at this point) because Dr Livingstone was vague in his own memoirs about his family and may have made a generational error himself that makes determining exact relationships difficult.  But we are open to sharing information and making connections if we can!

There's also a DNA Project that is great if you have male Livingston/e relatives.

We in fact have a descendant of Dr Livingstone's brother in our Project (170+ men) and so if anyone has a male Livingston/e relative to test, we can know immediately upon testing if you are in the same male line as the Doctor!  (Along with lots of other lines, like Baron Livingstone and others.)

Anyway, have a look--and please come by.  We've got some great (free) discussions and have just started a brand new Clan Society with a great newsletter that you might really enjoy!

Argyllshire / Re: McAlpin & Leitch & Weir & Black of Kilmodan

Is there anyone out there of these Kilmodan/Glendaruel Leitch families?  I am an admin of a DNA project and am investigating lines which may have similarity to these Leitch lines on the basis of genetic markers.  If anyone out there is, or has a relative who is, a male in the direct paternal line of Leitch (most often this is someone with that surname), please get in touch!  We would love to have you in the project.

Our project is the MacLea/Livingston DNA project.  There is a possibility that MacLea, one name derivation being "son of the physician [leech]" may have, in some cases, used the surname Leitch/Leech/Leach/etc.

Please get in touch if you have questions or interest, or know someone who would be a good testee!

Suggest you post a question on the Clan McLea forum:

www.clanmclea.co.uk/forum/clanforum.asp

There is some interest in McLea/McLay/etc from all around Scotland, and information on those in Stirlingshire may be of interest!
