I'm just new to this list, but it's already given me a couple good leads. Looking forward to finding more connections. Looks like my family has been in Kilsyth, Scotland (just northeast of Glasgow) for a long time. The Fergus name has been in Kilsyth since at least the 1600's, possibly farther than that. With repetitive names like Robert and Alexander, it's rough deciphering who connects with whom. Here is my lineage, plus some of the siblings in case anyone connects with them. All events are in Kilsyth, Scotland until Robert & Catherine's emmigration to U.S. in 1905. A couple of their children were born in Amsterdam, Ohio. Then the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where the rest of the line continues. (There are other Fergus's in the Cleveland area, but I don't know them.) Alexander Fergus (b. ?, d. pre-1851) m. Elizabeth Cleland (b. 1791?) m. 1816 son Robert (b. 1818) m.? Jean Goodwin, 2nd m. Janet Patrick? son Alexander (w/Jean) (b. 1843) m. Mary Meffen (b.1846) m. 1866 son Robert (b. 1875) m. Catherine Miller (b. 1877) m. 1896 son James (b. 1904) m. Winifred Read (b. 1907) m. 1927 son Glenn (b. 1928) m. Jean Galloway (b. 1931) m. 1953 daughter Karen (b. 1954) (YOURS TRULY) Other children of Alexander & Elizabeth - Christian, John, Alexander, Margaret, James, William Chalmers Burns Fergus Other children of Robert & Jean/Janet - Elizabeth, Jean Clark Fergus Other children of Alexander & Mary - Andrew, Elizabeth, Mary, Margaret, Jane/Jean Other children of Robert & Catherine - Mary, Jean, Jeanette, Elizabeth, Robert (Annie, Alexander & Margaret all died in infancy) Other children of James & Winifred - none Other children of Glenn & Jean - Gwen, Kris (Gwen & Kris also have children, but the Fergus name doesn't continue) If I can be of help, let me know.
