    1. [FERGUS] Family Group Sheet - information wanted
    2. Cynthia N. Russell
    3. Announcing the FERGUS and variations (but not Ferguson) "Family Group Sheet". Please visit the website below and under the Table of Contents please find "Family Group Sheet". Carefully fill in family group sheets for your family - yes, the whole family please as far back as you can go and as wide as you can go . . . living persons will be listed ONLY with permission and no date of birth or place of birth, only the month and year and state. Please do not give permission for another family member unless you have asked! Bill Richards, webmaster, and I do have at least a year's worth of data to input to the website already, but it is important for us to continue to gather information. Please be patient and do not expect to see your submissions posted immediately. We donate hours of time to this project and do it in our "spare" time. Bill has received the "Fergus Family History" data of approximately 5,000 descendants of Francis Fergus and is posting them, a most laborious project as the format received is not the format for our website. Please have the utmost patience if you find errors as we will be making spelling/numerical corrections as we go along. . . do e-mail me if you discover one. Also, as we list family names we would welcome that you "claim" them if you wish to be the contact person for that information, otherwise Earl Crosby will be listed for the "Fergus Family History" listings. I intend to claim my direct lineage so that people will contact me directly regarding the line. How I wish that we could get the information on the website more quickly, but this is an ongoing process. Do take a look about to see how it is progressing and revisit from time to time, remembering to use your "Refresh" button upon each new visit. When filling out the FGS (Family Group Sheet) please use the subject line to list the surname in capitals, a comma, then given (first) name of the Fergus relative. There is an area to write additional comments or information at the bottom of the form, so do scroll to the bottom.
