Ivy Myrtle Mae Ferguson was her given name at birth, but she didn't like it, so changed her name to Iva. When her siblings were little, pronouncing Iva became 'Wea', so that is the name family always called her.
Iva 'Wea' Ferguson was born in Sacred Wind, KY to George Ferguson and Nancy Boggs. Sacred Wind was located near Caines Creek, Ky...which is near Blaine, Ky. Wea's Boggs ancestors had lived and owned land in that area of Kentucky since the early 1820's. The land Wea was born on was a gift to George and Nancy when they wed. The Sacred Wind post office closed in the 1920's, but a Boggs family historian, Ray Williams, took our family to the land where George and Nancy's cabin stood until they left Kentucky in 1902.
Wea relished her KY roots, and visited aunts and cousins, still in living in that area, as often as she could.

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships.
The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
