Welcome to the "Ferguson" family tree.  Most of the information contained in  this web site relates to my fathers side of the family, in particular the descendants  and ancestors of Charles James Ferguson.

At present the family tree has been traced back to South Africa where research is  being conducted.  Some information has been obtained that suggests Charles James  Ferguson moved to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in the early 1900's, after his divorce from  Anna Magdalena Deale, however most colonial records were destroyed by Robert Mugabe.  Research is still being undertaken in an effort to trace ancestors of Charles James  Ferguson. Enjoy the site - and if you have ANY relevant information relating to my  family, please email me and let me know.

 Origin of Name:  Gaelic, Fearghas (super choice)  
 The name Fergu(s)son sprang to life in many, widely spread parts of Scotland.  Ideally the name could be traced back so as to bring the families together to  a single ancestral family, but when we consider that the name Fergus in Gaelic  means "the angry" and "the bold and proud", we can appreciate that such a  descriptive term would have been applied to someone at some time in almost  every village.
