Our last full day in England was the Grand Finale! We had the grand pleasure of traveling by train to Hertfordshire to visit Sue’s cousins for the first time!

Hemel, Hempstead, Hertfordshire

Our hosts, Donna and her parents, Michael & Una

Shannon and her third cousin, Meena

Shannon enjoying the resident geese — but were they enjoying her??

With their significant others, here are some of the descendants of James Ferguson (1872-1916) and Teresa ‘Tessie’ McGann (1873-1909) of Ireland and New York City

Without the tie that developed between Sue’s uncle Bill on her maternal side and her cousin Una on her paternal side, Sue & Una might never have met nor known of their connection.  Una’s father, John Ferguson was the eldest brother of Sue’s grandmother, Margaret Ferguson.  Thanks, Uncle Bill & Cousin Una!
