Is anyone a descendant of either Dr David Livingstone or Henry Morton Stanley ?

Re Stanley:-

"On his return to Europe, he married Welsh artist Dorothy Tennant, and they adopted a child, Denzil, who in 1954, donated some 300 items to the Stanley archives at the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. Denzil died in 1959."

Re Livingstone:-

"In his absences, his children grew up missing their father, and his wife Mary (daughter of Mary and Robert Moffat) endured very poor health, and died of malaria trying to follow him in Africa. He had six children: Robert reportedly died in the American Civil War; Agnes (b.1847), Thomas, Elizabeth (who died two months after her birth), William Oswell (nicknamed Zouga because of the river along which he was born, in 1851) and Anna Mary (b.1858). Only Agnes, William Oswell and Anna Mary married and had children

19 Mar 2013 is the 200th anniversary of David Livingstone's birth

Just read in my local paper that The David Livingstone Centre in Blantyre
( Lanarkshire) held various events to commemorate this bicentenary

A church service was attended by his 84yr old Great Grand Daughter ( named) who lives in Perthshire
