Publisher's Synopsis
This is a true story of life, of family, of happiness and of sadness. As with all families, the Ferguson family tale is extensive with many examples of family strengths and frailties. There is love, compassion, achievement and courage but there is also deceit, violence and tragedy.
In this book, I have attempted to not only document the Ferguson genealogy but also record some of the family stories that I have uncovered during my research. Although the relevant facts, dates and places resulting from research are all necessary components of ancestral history, it's the stories that provide a real insight into our ancestral past.
Of course, this type of project is never complete because there are always mysteries to solve, leads to follow and gaps to fill. Hopefully, some young enthusiastic descendant will take on this task.
