By visiting http://www.familysearch.org I searched for the given name of Francis and the surname FERGUS. Thirty-seven listings were generated. And of those 37 there were only 2 submitters! (A little bit like this mailng list;) Earl Crosby posted the lineage of Francis FERGUS, b. 8 Sept 1752, Co Tyrone, Ireland>PA>VA and Leslie Gerard Bundy of Ogden, UT posted the lineage of Francis FERGUS, b. ca 1770 Newtown Twp, Cumberland, PA and also associated with the FERGUS families of Dunstable, Lycoming, PA. Does anyone on this list have an e-mail address for Leslie Gerard Bundy? It would be EVERY so handy! And also I would like to know if there are subscribers who are related to this particular line? I am beginning to put some connections together with this line and a connection to Co Tyrone, Ireland. At this point it is conjecture, but perhaps some darn good guesses that I would like to pursue . . . but not alone. Fact: In Co Tyrone records I have found Alexander FERGUS, Francis FERGUS, James FERGUS, Samuel FERGUS, and Andrew FERGUS. In the Lycoming, PA FERGUS people I see the name of Francis FERGUS whose son was Andrew Alexander FARGUS, whose son was Francis FERGUS and James FERGUS, also Margaret FERGUS(FERGUSON). Are you paying attention? No, I did not mistype the above spellings. But, somewhere along the way in record keeping the FERGUS was listed as FARGUS, and FERGUS changed to FERGUSON! The very same thing is true of the records in Ireland. FERGUS changes to FERGEYS for the exact same people! When I began this research I had decided that I had never seen any name other than FERGUS and so I discounted the variations . . . well, I have had to change my mind and say to all those "I-told-you-so" people that indeed they were right. In my recent research I doubled back through all of the records I had so carefully "cleaned" through and searched for the variations. There were not many, but in the long run it may make a difference. You see, I am wondering if perhaps the father of the Lycoming, PA Francis FERGUS was a brother to "my" Francis FERGUS from Co Tyrone. . . if so, we will have found a missing piece of the puzzle! Anyone want to come along on this adventure? Yes, you may even if you don't have all of the information needed . . . at this point. You could help with the research on the Lycoming, PA FERGUS people as I continue putting pieces together. I think it is definitely worth the investigation! Please, please, please join in and begin to post your lineage and information so that someone may begin to make one of those monumental connections, or even a wee one:) I have spent 8 hrs. today on this one project and didn't begin to put a pattern together until after 7 hrs. I was simply accumulating and printing pages of information from the LDS site, when a light went on. You see, this is not genius work, but I would certainly welcome one aboard;) My best to all on this American Memorial Holiday weekend when we honor (honour) those soldiers who have died for our freedom through the ages. Yes, we would like to post any FERGUS names to our website where we have a Military page for these listings. Please send the information that you have. Cynthia Russell
