Hi,

I have been trying to research my Ferguson ancestors and have hit a brick wall at my third great-grandfather, John Ferguson (1815-1892). For a long time I was lead to believe that he was born in Ayr to John Fergus(s)on and Nancy Miller. Now, I am beginning to think he may have been a Kilchoman Ferguson. I don't have much concrete evidence about his life, other than potential hints, like having two younger brothers, Donald and Neil. But I can't find anything and I really do hope that my ancestors came from Kilchoman! I would greatly appreciate any insights! I have done an Ancestry DNA test, but have been far too busy with other stuff to properly go through the results.

Erin

Hi Erin

I have those names in my Ferguson family tree as well. John , Neil and Donald as the younger brother. Donald was my connection. I've taken the DNA test as well and will search to see if we are a match at Ancestry. You can contact me at whips55@yahoo.com

Also check out my tree to see if that helps.
