Friends and relatives;
My name is Harold E. Ferguson. I just subscribed to the list. I have been
doing family history research for about four years. My Ferguson/Fergusson
ancestors were from the Dumfries area. My gg-grandparents and their three
children immigrated to the USA in 1852.
The following information is taken from my genealogy files. Please note the
SS in Ferguson for all the Fergusson's in Scotland. When my branch of the
family immigrated to the USA, the one s was dropped, why I do not know. If
anyone has any additional information or would like to exchange information,
please contact me at
Sincerely
Harold
