In the late 1700s, five branches of Livingston/Levingston and Watson families settled in Avoca, Carnew, Bolinahaney and Newtownbarry in Counties Wicklow and Wexford, Ireland. All lived within twenty miles of each other, but after more than 250 years, descendants can now be found all over the globe.
Since 1923, the Livingston Watson Family Association ( Livingston.Watson.WI@gmail.com) has celebrated its heritage by sponsoring a family reunion held in August each year in Livingston, Wisconsin, USA. This website brings together much of the family history, photos, news clippings and genealogical research that has accumulated over the years.

New Facebook page
In the past we had two pages which were confusing to people, and there were also issues with non-family members joining. In order to make our page more secure, we have created a group page in which you have to click to join. The older sites have been deleted from Facebook. It wasn't allowed to transfer your names from the older sites so you must sign up for this one. You can search for the new site by this name: LIVINGSTON WATSON WISCONSIN FAMILY
Just click on Join. If there are any issues, please contact me.

The old account has been deleted from service so please use this email to contact us. Our website has been updated with the new address.
