This causes much envy and admiration. I take it in stride. And the actor Don Ho is definitely one up on me. But I digress. There is a down side.
People never get the name right the first time over the phone.
That's another nice thing, and that balances nicely with the down side. On this site is everything that I've found about this family up through the time of the civil war at least. My family's long-standing interest in our history is something I took up with in 1996, and this web site was started the following year. Even so some details remain speculative, especially in the first generation or two. Some of Abraham's children lived on Livingston's manor immediately after the Revolutionary War, then spread out from there.
