Because each generation of the Ferg family was so large it's hard to keep track of all the siblings. For instance, my grandfather Elmer had 10 brothers and sisters. My Great grandfather Adolph was the youngest of 9, I BELIEVE. My grandpa Elmer does not remember too much of his uncles. My next generation back would be Wilhelm August Ferg. Wilhelm and his brother Augusta were the first Fergs in Wisconsin. You can see current pictures of the original homestead by doing a search for Ferg's Bavarian Inn. I have the exact web site if that doesn't work. Another rather annoying family fun fact is that they have the worst habit of referring to one another by middle names as well as first names. I think they did this because often they used the same names over each generation.
