I would like to thank SHIRLEY FERGUS for maintaining our FERGUS mailing list for the past month. She has done a stellar job! And, in addition we now have 49 list subscribers and 4 digest subscribers to total 53! So WELCOME new subscribers. You will find that this is a quiet list - doesn't need to be, so join in when you wish. After researching in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland for three weeks I have been quietly trying to re-enter the faster pace in the U.S., although I do prefer the more peaceful pace of the Emerald Isle! And, I have been cataloging my photos that I received by download from Seattle Filmworks. I have sent a few out and will try to put together an album of photos for all to access from the Internet. I really struggle understanding the "how to" of computer instructions and so I probably spend 3 times the amount of time that others would . . . unless you are computer-disadvantaged, as I am:0 Already, I have sent some of the photos to Jim Fergus, a FERGUS-L subscriber who lives in London. Jim arranged for me to meet his family in Dundalk, Co Louth, Republic of Ireland. Also, Jim came to London Heathrow Airport to meet with me where a kind traveller snapped a couple of pictures of the two of us - however, they are on a roll still in my camera. I'll soon be back inputting additional information on the FERGUS Research Worldwide site . . . as soon as I can get my notes sorted out! I searched records beginning in 1708 through 1910 for ALL of the FERGUS listings! And, there were not many for the 200 year time span. Would any of you who have not yet personally sent me your name(s), snail mail address, and telephone number please do so? I will not share these but I do not want to lose any FERGUS! as time goes on. E-mail addresses become obsolete, expire, and change - I already have lost several that I may have additional information to share with them . . . it is too bad not to be able to mail them the info. Hoping to hear from each of you! Yes, I do enjoy receiving e-mail, even a hello! And, while I was in Northern Ireland I did follow the devastating tornadoes that devastated Oklahoma - and I was most anxious to make sure that nothing had happened to another James Fergus - glad all is well!
