Welcome to my family page
Here I will tell you about the 2 people I am looking
for information about.
First of all is my grandfather, John Ferguson.
Next is
about a cousin, Jeffrey Carl Keith.
First of all, I am looking for serious information
about my grandfather whose name is John Ferguson. I know that he was born in
Motherwell, Scotland on May 26, 1911, that he lived in Buffalo for 47 years. I
also know that he was married
twice, the first one was to my grandmother Irene Story, the second time to
Henrietta Meyer. He was working at the Hood Welding Co. as a welder. I think he
came to the US in 1925, became a
naturalized citizen sometime after that. He served during WWII in
the Army. He died on March 10, 1972 and is buried at Buffalo Cemetery,
Cheektowaga, NY. I don’t know if he has a middle name or not. I know that
his father is William Ferguson who was born on October 4, 1889 and died
on May 1, 1966. His mother’s name
is Jessie; unfortunately I don’t know her maiden name. I know that all three
came to the US at the same time but I have no other information on them.
Secondly I would like to
know where my nephew, Jeffrey Carl
Keith, last name was later changed to Kaplan. His mother’s name is Irene
Francis Ferguson Abel. I think one father’s name may be John Keith but we
don’t know for sure and the other one I don't know at all. Below are some
pictures of Jeffrey when he was younger and one is with his 2 sisters.
This is my Genealogy part.
I hope that
you will find this very interesting. On this site will be sites to places like
About.com and other sites. I do hope that you find this place useful.
I will have a link to a
different site just for the two relatives that I am looking for.
Some sites are general;
others are more direct. I hope that I have helped to point you in the right
directions. A number of these sites even have people to help you out if
you have a question about something. If you would like me to add more sites or
if any of them don't work, please let me know. There are plenty of books for the genealogists
as well so there is plenty of help
out there
