Is anyone subsribed to the list from this Fergus Group? Today I received a wonderful amount of information on a FERGUS line that were all born in Westry, island of Orkney, Scotland. I quote from the letter I received. "These generations of FERGUS were all born in Westray, at the farm just above where the first FERGUS came ashore. All were born in the same house, same bed. The farm house is now in ruins. John FERGUS being the last tenant moving to the other end of the Islae, took the bed with him. Now it's gone. The worms got into its wood, like they wil get us in the end too." FERGUS 1 William FERGUS 1 James FERGUS Orkney 2 John Orkney>Canada or America 3 William, m.

Any connections with this family? If so I will send you privately the name and address of the gentleman who sent me this information. And if the gentleman who sent me the information by snail mail is a subscriber to this group please make yourself known, and please make any corrections to the above information.
