Hi Fred, thank you very much for your reply and your help. Yes, I have seen this and some other Samuel's. After I sent this message to the list, I saw this Samuel listed in an Pedigree with an emailaddress. I have now written this submitter. Thank you also for your other explanation. I had not knew that this Mt. Pleasant was so near from Delmont. A other friendly listmember had me also written an hint with the court in Grennsburg because records. I think it is an good way to write an request there. Maybe I have there more luck as my search from my ancestor who emigrated in 1900-1902, was Cowboy (1909) in AZ, married this Jean Ferguson (1914), was 1917 in Valedon NM and lived later (1925) maybe in Chicago. I'm sorry, I live not in your ancestors region. I live in Chemnitz, Saxony. It is 30 miles from the czech border, 50 miles from Dresden and Leipzig in the Ore-mountains (Erzgebirge). All my Hanusch ancestors came from Bohemia, lived at least since 1620 there. Beside my grandmother's line who came from Germany. So I have much knowledge in Bohemia genealogy. Natural I have also do search here in Germany in old churchbooks etc for my grandmother's line. When you has an problem or an brickwall in your search, I would be glad to try to help. Wrote what you has or needs and maybe I can a little help. But not sure. I have for example many FTM CD's and could do also an look- up. I can maybe search for someone here in Saxony or Bohemia, but can not search from Chemnitz here in Stutt- gart or in an parish there,for records in the church etc. Thank you again for your help and answer Best wishes for the moment Lars http://www.lars-hanusch.de ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred H Held" <fhheld@netzero.net> To: <PAWESTMO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 4:53 PM Subject: [PAWESTMO-L] Re: Ferguson, Delmont, Westmoreland Co. > Hello Lars, > > The LDS Ancestral File (at FamilySearch) gives a possible match for your > Samuel FERGUSON. > ============================== > Individual Record FamilySearchT Ancestral File v4.19 > Samuel FERGUSON (AFN: 10LV-BTC) > Birth: 14 Aug 1864 Mt.
