Good Saturday! I was about to write good Saturday morning - and it is here in the U.S., but some of our subscribers are located around the world . . . welcome aboard Jim Fergus in London, England! I look forward to meeting your family in Ireland! There are currently a total of 47 subscribers to the FERGUS mailing list! I am not sure where everyone is from but I know that we have a subscriber from New Zealand, more from Canada, England, and I think Nova Scotia and Ireland. Let me know if you live outside the U.S. as I do like statistics and demographics. Last week I posted an announcement about our new FERGUS Research Worldwide site and I believe that I sent an incorrect URL - easy for me to become confused - as Bill Richards (who lives in Ontario, almost to Manitoba) is graciously writing the computer language necessary for the new site) and I communicate with hundreds of e-mails and many phone calls. Sooooooooooo, please be patient with us as we are still creating the new site which was unfortunately announced prematurely. You will see changes each time you visit this new site - make SURE to use your RELOAD or REFRESH button upon each visit to each page you visit. Since we are still looking for a non-commercial guest book Bill has linked the guest book from my other FERGUS site, FERGUS Family Worldwide. We don't want to miss anyone who would like to sign in. Also, Bill has created a wonderful FERGUS Group Sheet which will allow you to enter your family information on this site - it is not yet ready for use as Bill and I must be able to accept the information posted . . . just not there yet, so have patience. You will notice as you click about the various hyperlinks on the site that some will not have the correct information for the heading - again, part of the process of creation - we are aware of this and will eventually work through all of the snags. In the meantime enjoy the information that is there and wait patiently for the remainder. It would certainly be encouraging to each us if you would each post some tidbit or largebit of FERGUS information to the mailing list. More to follow, Cynthia ^.^.^.
