Genealogy
We maintain a number of genealogy sites, though our own family genealogy is not publicly accessible; if you think you may be related to our branches of the Ferguson, Anderson, McCabe or Baird families, please explain to Drew and he ought to be able to give you access
Fergus Mòr: provides a genealogy of the person commonly understood to be the founder of the clan. Goes backward through the mythological High Kings of Ireland to Noah; it tracks forward through historical persons linking to various Royal Families. It is work-in-progress.
Historical Fergusons: these are genealogical records researched from various sources, rarely more recent than 1920's. It too is work-in-progress.
When we are able to verify a common ancester in these genealogies, we can join them up into a single and authoritive Clan genealogy.
