how did my family come across the big puddle
I was trying to find out who my family is beyond the cousins, aunts, and uncles that I do know. My dad, Charles Ferguson was born in Waltham Mass. on 6/17/1933 and was one of several siblings. I know his father was either Edward Louis Ferguson or Louis Edward Ferguson. I know my grandfather was orphaned along with a sister Birdelia, who became a nun and taught 3rd grade in Mass. for over 50 years and died a few years ago but, beyond that I know nothing to connect me to anything earlier. Were there other brothers and sisters? I seem to remember there was a priest we called Father Bob but I was only 5 or 6 years old when I last saw him. I don't know the relationship or family connection to the Ferguson side of my family they may have shared. I also remember there was another priest who looked like he could have been Father Bob's son but, again, I don't know. Like I said, I was only 5 or 6 at the time I remember seeing him My grandfather's wife's maiden name was Carlin and they could have been related to that side of the family. She had a brother George, a brother Ralph, and a sister Emily I think.Does anyone know the family that I speak of and can anyone help me to make an earlier connection.
