1. Scottish Search on OPR [1]
Hi Fergus Cousins, I discovered this weekend that there is a closer FHC to me. While I was there, one of the volunteers insisted that I at least look at the catalog of research material for Scotland. It appears that they have dozens of micro fiche and other such sources. I will have to make trips for years to look at it all. That's if I get a lot of free Saturday mornings. I just wanted to let you know in the meantime that while looking at the parrish records in Renfrew, Argyle, Midlothian, Stirling a

4. Re: Scottish Search on OPR [1]
It may not be helpful to you, but it may be to me. My family is from Kilsyth, and from that time period. Not sure if William is a direct line or a sibling to one of mine. I will investigate further as this marriage date may coincide with my Alexander. Following tradition, though, no one in our family has been named William - hence the sibiling possibility.

7. Non-population census beginning 1850 [1]
Non-population census are excellent sources of data on people giving a glimpse at our ancestors lives from a different perspective. In 1850 special censuses were conducted along with the population censuses - slave censuses, agricultural censuses, and industrial censuses. The slave censuses list the number of slaves belonging to a person/head of household. The focus of the non-population censuses was on the owner, not the family. Schedules collected data such as how many slaves were owned, the type of far

11. [FERGUS] Fergus trees [1]
I have printed out in register format the descendants of John Fergus (father of James, John and William) and Francis Fergus/Fargus (Lycoming County PA). Each runs about 7 pages. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll snail mail it to you. These are not my primary research interests but would appreciate any corrections as I am still trying to place John as a brother to my Hugh and Francis as a son. Neil Fergus Johnson Middletown, PA

Neil: You had sent me some material some time ago regarding Hugh Fergus and my Francis Fargus possibly connected. Frankly I have not been able to do anything further on Francis.
