Has anybody worked out the connection between Dr. David Livingstone, the famous explorer, and Sir Patrick Manson, the Father of Tropical Medicine?
I am trying to prove out a family connection to Dr. David Livingstone (1813-1873), the famous Scottish missionary and explorer.
I have tracked our family tree back to Sir Patrick Manson (1844-1922), who was famous in his own right for his work with malaria. Patrick is the son of Elizabeth Livingstone Blaikie (1822-1905), and there are reports of Elizabeth being a "cousin" of Dr. David Livingstone, but I cannot yet work out the connection. I was wondering if anybody else has done this work already and might be able to share?
Thanks!
