Please take a look at our Unidentified Photos
The link above will take you to our photo album of
unknown family members. Some of the photos were enhanced to assist in recognition as
they are very old. All of these came from a steamer trunk of my Grandmother, Bertha
Ellen Hamilton Ferguson, who lived in Webster and Sunflower County, Mississippi most of
her life. I am sure they are from either the Ferguson, Hamilton, Stallings, Holland,
Fulgham, or Noblin families as she and her sisters appear to have kept fairly close ties
with their cousins.
Our main hope for this website is and always will be to locate unknown family
members. If you find a connection to our family from yours, please let us know. It
is always a pleasure to meet new additions and at sometime in the future, we hope to be
able to meet some of you in person.
Be sure you check our Surnames
database for links to your own family.
The Family Histories link at the top of the page will take you to our family
history pages for each of our lines. We are actually
researching two family lines, one traces my paternal (Lisle/Long) and
maternal (Ferguson/Hamilton) lines and the other traces my
husband's paternal (Mayo/Jared) and maternal (Beardsley/Hackelman) lines. Both of our families have strong
southern connections and, with the exception of the Beardsley/Hackelman line, appear to
have migrated from South Carolina and Georgia to Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
and Texas. With our latest update, we now have relatives all across the United States both
North and South. We have also discovered that as the history books have stated, the
Civil War was fought by brother against brother. We not only had Confederate
soldiers but also found quite a number of distinguished Union soldiers in our families.
We have also located a number of relatives who fought in the American Revolution of
which we are extremely proud.
As time allows, I will be
adding more photos of our ancestors to our Photo Album.
Our Favorite Links page has been revised to shorten the load
time. You will find links to genealogy resources sites that we have
found during our research. We will continue to add links that will
assist you in your research, so come back often to check out our new links.
