If you wish to post your genealogy to the list make sure that you use FERGUS-L@rootsweb.com or Fergus-L@rootsweb.com but NOT the address with <request> that is ONLY used to subscribe and unsubscribe. For those of you who are new to newsgroups, as I was just a year ago, it can be frustrating to post, access the archives, subscribe, and unsubscribe. However, if you keep trying, you will succeed. Also, if any of you are still having trouble please e-mail me and I will be happy to call you to help "talk and walk" you through the process to post, access the archives, etc. I am here to help anyone . . . just ask! I am usually on the Internet from 6 a.m. - 9:45 a.m., then again when I get home from work 6 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. The majority of that time is spent on my FERGUS research and related or collateral lines. Your ancestry is a straight line, without, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. So mine is: Francis FERGUS son James FERGUS son John Shannon FERGUS son Samuel Raper FERGUS son Guy Carleton FERGUS daughter Helen Hortense FERGUS daughter Cynthia Dodd NICHOLS (Russell) son William Dodd RUSSELL daughter Anna McCrea RUSSELL daughter Jennifer Fergus RUSSELL This is my ancestry chart.
